Featuring Four: CHUCK

Chuck

Name: Chuck Frascone

 

Where do you live now? For how long?

I Live in San Jose, California.

I was drafted in 1969 and was discharged on Treasure Island in San Francisco in 1973 and have been here ever since. I love living in California and especially in Silicon Valley, where there is so much activity.

Any hobbies or activities outside of work you want people to know about?

I love to ride my Honda VTX 1300  motor cycle along Highway 1 on a sunny day and look out at the ocean or ride up to Alice's Restaurant in the Santa Cruz mountains with my friends to have lunch. I'm also an artist and have a studio that I built in my back yard where I paint. My latest hobby is learning how to play the guitar.

 

Who or What is the best part of your life these days?

I'd have to say that the best part(s) of my life these days is spending time with my family and close friends. My wife and I enjoy being at home and entertaining, cooking for everyone and just hanging

out. Also, being grandparents is a lot of fun.

Have you attended any previous reunions? If so, which and if not, any particular reason?

The only HS reunion that I've been to in the past was the 15th. Someone back then contacted my parents to get my address in order to send the announcement. I had a great time at that reunion but I never heard about another reunion until this one. Thank goodness for social media.

 

Why have you decided to attend this reunion?

I'm looking forward to attending this reunion because I have made contact with some of my classmates over the past few years (again due to social media) and want to catch up and find out how and what they have been doing. I'm also looking forward to seeing who I can recognize. When I looked at the pictures from the 40th reunion on FB, I was not able to connect a lot of those images with the "kids" that I went to HS with. I know that we'll all laugh when we see each other

Best and/or worst high school memory?

I have no best or worst HS memories. For many reasons, that was a time in my life when all I wanted was to be done with it and move on. The times I remember having the most fun back then were the times away from school when I was hanging out with my close friends. I really don't think about HS very often.

 

Anything else you want your classmates to know about you?

If there is anything that I would like my classmates to know about me today, it is that I am happy with who I am and where I am in my life and I look forward to seeing many of them again in October and to hear their stories as well.
