I am THE Mike Wallace. Not the TV wanta be. I got all the good looks and he got the money, poor guy. I graduated with the class of 1961. I grew on a farm in Tenn. Moved to California on Sept. 12, 1959. I actually thought that I had died and gone to heaven on that date. After graduation I partied at Long Beach City College for two years. Went to work in banking and finance for 8 years. Was married to a girl from Milliken High school for 7 years. Divorced and 5 years later remarried to girl from Lakewood High school. We were married for 46 years and had 5 children. My long life love of live wife died on July the 25th, 2018. She had a long term fight with Multiple Sclerosis. I now have 10 grandchildren, and 10 plus, I quit counting after the 10th one, great grandchildren. I now live in Florissant, Colorado in the mountains. My home is at 9300 ft. elevation and the weather here can be difficult. I have been here for 15 years. In all these long years I have acquired 3 degrees; Associates, 2 bachelors, and I am now almost through a master's degree. I will graduate next Feb, 2022. After that, I am considering going on for another masters or perhaps a Juris Doctorate. At my age I find it a bit remiss to plan to far ahead. With my last bachelor's degree, I graduated in August of 2020 with a GPA of 3.75. So fare in my master's studies, my GPA is 3.97. I tell all you old has been that it is never to late to live your dreams, and become a new will be. I have published two small books; one was a children's story and the other one was a heirloom family cookbook. Never made a penny on either, but I just had to do it. There are two more historical novels that I am working on now. More than likely I have bored you enough in this missal, so I really look forward to see you all on July 10,2021,
Robert "Mike" Wallace
