Family history living in South Pasadena

My family moved to South Pasadena from Lincoln Heights in 1956 when I was 2 years old. I had an older brother, Felix (SPHS 1961) and older sister, Gail (SPHS 1962). I moved out for college in 1972 and never moved back. My brother and his family now live in the house where we grew up so I get back to South Pas almost every year.

Family members who also went to SPHS

Brother Felix (SPHS 1961)
Sister Gail (SPHS 1962)
Niece Elena Gutierrez (SPHS 1988)
Niece Anita Gutierrez

Organizations, clubs, sports, other groups I've been in at school &/or since

I was active in the band, chorus, TIGER staff, International Relations club in HS.
I was also active in the youth programs at the United Methodist Church.

I kept up with vocal music through my adulthood no matter where I lived.
