Parents

Growing up in the ‘50s and ‘60s in Cloverdale was about as good as it gets.  It was a time when schools, Little League, Blue Birds, Scouts, Brownies, Campfire Girls, churches, Citrus Fair, and other groups pulled together.  Parents were parents more so than ever.  We had the best from “Woman of the Year” for California, Mrs. Greenhalgh to every parent who helped make it happen. Mothers sacrifice so much in the parenting process many of the sacrifices going unacknowledged.  Fathers guided our youth on many fronts - spirituality, Scouts and school projects, to name a few. This unique period in our history saw Cloverdale working as a TEAM Together Everyone Achieves More.  No fathers of our classmates are with us.  However, Mrs. Cavagnaro, Mrs. Farrell, Mrs. Frederick, Mrs. Murray, and Mrs. Haehl are with us but have advanced medical issues. Mrs. Reeder, Mrs. Bogner and Mrs. Wilkison are delightfully spry and if we are real nice, they may “Book Us” for June 27th at the downtown chow hall.  Currently known as La Hacienda.  We were so fortunate to have old school parents.  Words cannot express our gratitude for their sacrifices that have played out in some way for nearly seven decades.
