Donald DeCosta - The Update

After a short stint programming computer games for the Commodore-64 computer, I decided to follow an old girlfriend to Northern California. I'd actually met Trisha when I was an Arlington freshman and she was an 8th grader at Chemawa, we "dated" (in the barely-teen sense of the word) for a short time until her family moved north shortly into Trisha's freshman year at Ramona. I visited Trisha in 1982 and escorted her to her Senior Prom. I was hooked! We were married in 1985 and our son, Brandon, was born in 1994. We're sharing a wonderful life in the town of Benicia, about 30 minutes north of San Francisco.

Since 1984 I've worked for a professional liability insurance company. Currently I'm the Assistant Manager of Information Systems (A.K.A. Head-Geek).  It's been a fun ride, going from the introduction of the original IBM PC in 1981 to the current wonders of the Internet.  I don't think those of us in Ms. Smith's computer class ever envisioned how widely popular these computer things were going to become!

Looking forward to seeing you all in August!
