Memories

The ocean breezes and the clear, beautiful skies of the RUHS campus, combined with the dedicated and inspiring teachers, are among the many memories of this proud and grateful 1964 graduate. These teachers helped me explore my dreams and passions which led me into an international career and wonderful, fulfilling life — far beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Thank you, Redondo High!
