Cheryl Chapin Petrovich

I am on Face Book as Cheryl Petrovich

I have worked in many temporary dental assistant positions, and also made orthodontic appliances, worked as a law office manager, worked as a freelance paralegal, medical assistant, and lab tech. I worked in a nuclear lab in Dallas, TX, and it was from that job, that I believe I was exposed to excessive radiation which caused a rare malignancy twenty some years later.

I lived in Pasadena, CA, Covina, CA, Dallas, TX, Cupertino, CA, Sunnyvale, CA and now Millbrae, CA.

My brother, Bruce Chapin, went to So. Pas. and graduated in 1971.

No one.

Went to Pasadena City College, took basics and an interesting Psychology class and a Japanese course. I don't think I was taking college too seriously at that time.

Marcia nailed the story about the three of us becoming Tigerettes at a time when most people would be considered too old. I am pretty certain I was given the pity vote, because I was awful! Marcia and Debbie and I did have lots of school spirit, and we bought goodies for the basketball team before each game. We were able to skip English class a lot, so we could cheer on the team! I was also a varsity Baseball team statistician, and tended to ignore the errors for certain favored players! The coach always told the team they had to clean up their language, because there was a girl present. I am sure they resented that!

I loved being in Concert Choir, and performing; it was a real bright spot!We went anywhere Marcia's Valiant would take us! Many times it was to Seal Beach, instead of class! I swear, Marcia said she never changed the oil on that car, but it seemed to run great!We were notorious for our TP jobs and would have plenty of narrow escapes! The Bretheren Church seemed to play a big role in the occupation of our time, and energy. There were many events to attend, and lots of guys to break our hearts!

No, not really.

Marcia Hanscom,

Going to the beach, reading,

Gardening is more of a necessity of survival, but there are aspects of it I enjoy. I make some jewelry, and some crafts.

As I alluded to earlier, I had a very nasty cancer, and a year of intense, freakishly strong chemo. It damaged my body, and left me with lots of health issues, that I battle. I have a weird metabolism and I stay large and swollen up. It makes me kind of self-conscious. I used to be very active, hiked, played soccer, but after the chemo, I couldn't do it as much, and now I feel like a blob! I guess it frightens me to go to a reunion not feeling I look my best, but I guess people won't be that shocked...I think! Oh well!
