We married in 1970 and have four children and four grandchildren. Charles quit UC Berkeley during the protest years and became a finish contractor. He made beautiful things and never worked a day in his life. He retired at 62. I went back to school in 1975 and became an RN, and then a nurse practitioner. I'm set to retire the end of November, 2016. We moved to the mountains of Southern California in 2011. [Charles died 31 May 2020.]

Had a daughter (Jessica), got divorced, moved to Oakland. Remarried in 1985. Became a grandmother (Sydney) in 1997.] I finished my paid union career when I retired from my position as Executive Director of the California Federation of Teachers in 2011. After 35 years of organizing and representing unions, I’m still committed to the labor movement. I do what I can to keep retired union members active in their unions and communities, and am active on the board of the California Alliance for Retired Americans (CARA). I'm still married to Louie Shelleda, who's also retired. We still live in Oakland, travel a lot, volunteer to provide food to the homeless, and work on political campaigns where needed.

Martin Draznin in 1966 Martin Draznin now Martin Draznin - My wife Tacie and I have been living in Kalamazoo since 1991, the longest I've lived anywhere since I was a kid in Concord. I'm still essentially running a racket. I do academic medicine (Pediatric Endocrinology, don't ask) at a community medical school campus, lots of interesting kids to see, medical students and residents to teach, the odd article to publish so my colleagues at other institutions don't think I've retired or died, and, and, and, I get PAID for this! I'm still dabbling at amateur radio (N5TRF). Had to stop the Tae Kwon Do after getting to Third Dan and mostly teaching adult beginners for awhile, knees got too sore. Studied Samurai Sword for four years, until my shoulder wouldn't take it any more. Too bad, it's a great art. Beer brewing stopped when I finally got too much steam from boiling up into the over the range microwave, which died a spectacular and smoky death. Had a chance to hunt plains game in South Africa. It was eye opening, and mind-boggling in MANY ways. Our son just (2009) got married to a classmate from medical school, after he finishes his residency in emergency medicine and she finishes her post residency in Master of Public Health, they hope to work for the Indian Health Service in New Mexico for a few years. Life in Michigan has been pretty darn good to us.
Martin contributed The Brain (He loved to learn) to our "What Was It Like?" essay collection.

Mary (Brighton) Borrelli sent us an update in 2006, and another in 2013. She graduated from Cal Berkeley, became a partner in Chez Panisse restaurant, married Jim Borrelli. They divorced. She went into documentary films, won a Golden Globe, an Oscar nomination and an Emmy. She is now Tucson, where she does marketing and communications. .
