Tuesday is my final day at the hospital! I am retiring after 37 years of uttering "Hold your breath" that I must've said at least 3,000,005 times. Pitchin' the alarm clock, WOO HOO!


My clever son Phil had THE coolest T-shirt made for me. It says

"EX - RAY TECH" across the front! Wearin' it to work Tuesday!

Bill, I grew up in Monrovia (kinda close to Arcadia, Pasadena, LA). My husband and I went to Bishop Amat High School in La Puente. Went to x-ray school at Mount San Antonio College in Walnut, Ca. over the hill from Cal Poly, Pomona.

You are very kind Chris.....I am 55 1/2 Y/O :toast:

37 years of X-rays have preserved you well !
I would have expected hair loss and no teeth :biggrin:

Looks like we inhabited LA at the same time, but on opposite ends of town.

I graduated from Cal Poly, Pomona! Funny that. Lived in Rancho Cucamonga & West LA after graduating. Tucson, now! That's a very nice shirt, Pam :-)

Pam Congratulations! I thought you looked familar! I am a Madite class of 1968. My older brother Roger went to Bishop Amat - he likely graduated a few years ahead of you. I took some photo classes at Mt Sac. Oh yeah like the shirt! Going to get my year books!
