Occupation(s): I have been making my living as a professional
Archæologist since 1967 and have been a full time Associate
State Archæologist with California State Parks since 1976.
I worked on General Plan Inventories for eighteen years and am
the Archæologist of record on General Plans for more than
seventy units of the State Park system. Parks I have inventoried
in Southern California include all of the coastal units from
San Diego north to San Simeon plus all of the Santa Monica Mountains
units and several inland Historic Parks. I am currently involved
in project review and planning for 203 park units stretching
from the Tehachapi's to the Oregon border. I am a specialist
in trails development and management, ADA (Americans With Disabilities
Act) handicap access retrofits and historic structure restorations.
As you can probably tell I like my job and, barring unforseen
circumstance, I will probably stick with it for seven or eight
more years. By the way I will put my part time job background
up against anybody. I have worked as a carnie, teamster, morgue
attendant, editor, publisher, medical supplies salesman, bar
tender/ bouncer, and about twenty other odd and unusual occupations.
Web sites: Nothing personal. My department has a site http//cal-parks.
ca.gov which you might find interesting.
Message: Just have-fun, and visit California State Parks
often!
School Activities: German Club, Cosmopolitian, drama,
track-letter(manage), football-letter(manage), Gold and Jeweled
"M" (both of the pins are currently in the possession
of my ex-wife Donna {Ricketts} Kelly, Millikan '62), Physics
Club, Ushers, YFC, CSF, NHS, National Merit Scholar, plus a bunch
of other stuff I am having a problem sorting out (I can't figure
out whether my wet ware memory storage is failing or if my finder
is corrupted--probably both. Maybe by the next reunion my engrammitic
memory will start to kick in. My 88 year old mother can remember
the names of every student with whom she went through elementary
school while I can't remember the name of a single one of my
elementary school teachers. I do remember the names of a few
of my sixth grade classmates at Cubberly, but then we went all
the way through Marshall and Millikan together).
Life Update: Claudine (Young-Mater Dei '65) and I still
live in the middle of an incredible clutter on our five acre
place in semi-rural Orange Vale in the northeast corner of Sacramento
County. Our menagerie has shrunk to one cat, an elderly burro,
a geriatric pygmy goat and two King snakes. We tried waterfowl
again last year and found that the Coyotes are still active in
the neighborhood. We occasionally play host to skunks, opossums,
raccoons and probably several varieties of rodent along with
at least fifty species of wild birds. Claudine has changed employers
and now works for Roseville Directories Company which is a division
of RCC Communication which is the largest privately held telephone
Company in the U.S..
Both of my sons live in the same house on Palo Verde Avenue I
lived in from sixth grade until after I graduated from Millikan.
Tim who is the younger is a supervisor in the Computer Services
unit of Deloitt and Touche at their main offices in downtown
L. A.. Tim is single and has no children of which I am aware.
John is working in computer services for an HMO in Long Beach
which specializes in health care for senior citizens. He and
his wife Kim celebrated their tenth year together in June of
'99. My grandson Robert will be ten in August of this year. He
was born the Sunday following our 30th reunion. My granddaughter
Ashly turned eight this past February. I am happy to say that
all of them are currently healthy and the grandkids are doing
very well at Cubberly. If my grandson Robert graduates from Millikan
he will be third generation (his dad was class of '89). Robert
will be the ninth member of my family to attend Millikan.
Hobbies/Fun: I had pretty much stopped Civil War reenacting
by the last reunion. My current job has me out of town so much
that it is about all I can do to keep my place from falling down.
We have also curtailed the size of our vegatable garden because
of our work schedules. We both still reenact at Sutter's Fort.
I have been playing the same real character (Dr. John Marsh)
at the fort for 17 years this April. The only other person who
has played a character as long is an Engineer friend of mine
who started playing James Marshall at the same event I began
playing Marsh.
As I noted above we live amidst an incredible clutter. Claudine
and I collect so many different kinds of stuff that I do not
feel comfortable attempting to list the various categories in
this overlong epistle. If any of you are collectors we will be
happy to talk with you about our obsession at the reunion (question
to Marc K., do we need help?) . If any of you are antique or
collectible dealers please contact me now!
Car - Millikan Days: I didn't have a car through most
of high school but could borrow my dads '50 Imperial sedan almost
any time. The behemouth was so big that it was almost like a
limo. It was great for double dates and you could easily quadruple
date in it(single dating was the most fun since the back seat
of this thing was about the size of a large living room couch).
Miriam (Cohen) Goldberg apparently has fond memories of that
car because she never hesitates to remind me about the time we
got stuck in the parking lot at Java Lanes at 3AM when I couldn't
get the old "clunk-o-matic" transmission in reverse.
My dad had to drive down in his company car to rescue us. Late
in my senior year I inherited an ugly green 1950 buick special
with a three speed manual transmission from my oldest sister.
What a clunker, she let it run out of oil and burned a valve.
I drove it for two years and then junked it. Several years later
I learned that it was the rarest of all post war buicks and that
it was quite valuable.

Marc Kashinsky
E-mail:Marc.Kashinsky@kp.org
Occupation: Clinical Psychologist, currently Chief Psychologist
at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Santa Clara, CA.
Message to Classmates: Given the collective wisdom I have seen expressed I don't think of anything profound to add -- just, good friends and good memories are treasures.
School activities: None particularly that come to mind but cherished memories of John Glover, Ken Johns, Helen Carter, Eleanor Weiherman and Joan Hansen.
Life Update: After changing majors more times than I care to think about, I graduated from Long Beach State in Feb., 1961 and matriculated into their MA program in Psychology. I had also had a wonderful experience working with Joe White and Walt Hunting, two psychology profs at LB, dealing with teachers and administrators in the LA school system after the Watts riots. This fueled my interest in community psychology. I went to Clark University in MA and earned my Ph.D. in 1972 figuring that after 25 years in school it was time to retire from academics and go to work in the real world. I worked at a community mental health center in central MA for a couple of years and then returned to CA. I worked in the state hospital system here (Norwalk and Camarillo) and also taught, briefly, at CSULB. From So. Cal. I took a job in Reno and was there for about 1 1/2 years, in a position that was part clinical and part administrative, before coming to Kaiser in Santa Clara, CA in 1980. I have been here since. I have had (and continue to have) a fairly rewarding career. I am Chief Psychologist here in a very large Department of Psychiatry (e.g., about 100 psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other therapists divided among 4 divisions). I am seriously considering retiring in about 2 years -- time will tell. My personal life has been a bit more tumultuous. I am sorry to say that I have been married more than once and am currently not married. I have one son who is the most wonderful part of all of my existence. He is about to graduate from UC Santa Barbara Phi Beta Kappa, with numerous honors, and with a double major in Theater Arts and Philosophy. He has written a couple of award winning short plays. And, he is a terrific kid!
Hobbies: Not as many as I would like but I enjoy books, movies and exercising (moderately).
Cars at Millikan: I didn't have a car while
in school but hung out with older friends who did. My first car
was a 1951 Pontiac straight eight (turquoise and cream for those
of you who remember that color combination). This was followed
by a 1949 Buick Super two door with a back seat big enough to
hold a coffee table. The first car I really bought for myself
was a 1960MGA. Although not particularly mechanically inclined,
I have loved cars ever since.
