Aileen Harbison
After graduating from John Muir I attended PCC. After one year I took a
job as a secretary, then shortly thereafter, met and married John Randolph. We lived in the Pasadena area for many years before moving to
Glendale. During this period, we had 3 children, two girls and a boy.
In 1971 we moved to Tollhouse, California, in the foothills east of Fresno. We built a 3,800 sq. ft. house on
110 acres. At that time my husband was a California Highway Patrolman and a pastor of a church in
Clovis, CA. Several years later, we moved down to Clovis, into a home on two and a half acres. In 1978, after 22 years of marriage, we
divorced and soon after I met Bill Skinner, my current husband. When Bill and I decided to unite our lives, we each had 3 adult children. We
married in December 1979 and will soon celebrate our 22nd anniversary. In 1984 we moved to Southern California. After living briefly in Van
Nuys we moved to Arcadia, then Monrovia, then to Glendale. In 1996 we settled in South Orange County.
I have 3 grandchildren and 5 step-grandchildren and one newly added child into my daughterís family by guardianship. In August 2001 my
granddaughter Michelle married.
We currently live in Leisure World in Laguna Woods, California. I work at AmerisourceBergen Corporation in the Risk Management
Department in Orange, California. My husband is retired but works a few days at the
golf course and plays golf on his days off. Bill's son
Scott, and his family live in nearby Laguna Niguel.

Following graduation
from Muir, I attended Occidental College for two years. I met my wife
Janet there as a freshman and we were married in August of 1960. We have
four sons and six six grand children with one more on the way.
In my junior year I transferred to the University of California at Berkeley
where I completed my B.A. in Mammalian Physiology and roomed with Muir
classmate Mark Helbling. I completed the state requirements for a
California Teaching Credential at Alameda State College (now Cal State, Hayward)
and began teaching high school biology in the Newport-Mesa Unified School System
(Costa Mesa H.S.) in 1961.
After three years of teaching, I attended Cornell University on a National
Science Foundation Academic Year Institute and obtained my Masters in
Biology. I returned to the Newport-Mesa School System (Estancia H.S.) for
four more years, after which I moved my family to Greenfield, Massachusetts
where I began teaching biology and environmental science at Greenfield Community
College.
I remained at GCC for 30 years until I retired in 1999. While at GCC I
taught life sciences, astronomy and computer programming courses. I served
as Dean of Academic Affairs from 1978 until 1986.
We are currently "snowbirds" in Buffalo, NY, (the garden spot of the
east) from October through April. Although we received a bit of snow this
year, its a wonderful city and a great place to live. We moved here to be
with one of our sons and his family. We spend the months of April through
October at our farm on a cove of the Bay of Fundy near St. George, NB, Canada.

George (Mickey) Jordan
(Now Mike Jordan)
After Muir, I
attended the University of Redlands for two years and then transferred to USC
where I majored in Economics and Political Science and graduated in 1960 with a
BA degree. I fiddled around for a year in graduate school (law/business)
and then joined the Air Force in 1961. I received a commission in 1962 and
became an officer in the Air Police in 1963. I was the Security Officer at
Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, Florida and then the Assistant Director
of Security and Law Enforcement at Thule Air Force Base in Greenland in 1964-65.
I left the Air Force in 1965 and was an insurance investigator in Phoenix, Arizona for a year and a half. In 1966, I joined the Office of Naval Intelligence and became a Special Agent, specializing in counter-intelligence work. I served with the ONI in San Diego and Los Angeles, California, Phoenix, and Yuma Arizona and Winchester, Virginia.
In 1972, I became a charter member of the Defense Investigative Service and was assigned to Ft. Ritchie, Maryland and then Washington D.C. I went to headquarters in 1976 as the first Special Agent in the Department of Defense, Freedom of Information Office. I was promoted to the management ranks later in 1976 in the Special Investigations Center and in 1977, became the first Special Agent in the reorganized Personnel Investigations Center at Ft. Holabird, Maryland. In 1978 I left the east and went to San Jose, California as the Assistant Special Agent in charge of the large Silicon Valley office. In 1981 I got my first command as head of the Shreveport, Louisiana office serving Barksdale Air Force Base and covering Northern Louisiana, East Texas and Southern Arkansas. In 1982, I was promoted again to head the Agency's largest office, The Washington DC office, which covered the Pentagon and Northern Virginia. I retired from government service in 1988 with a full hazardous duty pension at age fifty.
Following retirement, I became a full time, self-employed consultant doing investigative work for several government agencies, including Customs, Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Defense, National Security Agency and others not to be named. In 2000, I retired to Ocala, Florida where I live the good life and work occasionally for the United States Customs and Department of Defense in central Florida.
Along the way, I married my life's partner, Betty Vanover in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. We have two children, born in Winchester, Virginia. M daughter Connie is a Web Page Project Manager for SETA Corporation in McLean, Virginia and Mike, Jr., who is an electrician in the DC area. Neither are married and so I'm still looking forward to being a grandfather.
While living in Shenendoah Valley, Virginia, I became a Bluegrass musician, learning to play a Resophonic guitar, (Dobro). In the past 30 years, I've had many bands and have played live music on the radio in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. My gospel CD is currently being played on the radio in several states and also in Europe. We have a Web site at http://www.bayhost.net/shadymile. I no longer perform in nightclubs, but one of my current bands, "The Dixie Hillbillies," play concerts regularly in the central Florida area.
For the past 30 years Betty and I have been collector/dealers in antique glass, specializing in rare American fruit jars, perfume and medicine bottles, insulators, demijohns and colonial black glass. We travel in our motor home throughout the United States selling and displaying our glass. When we retired to Florida, instead of down sizing like most people, we purchased a large estate and converted several rooms of one wing into a glass museum. I gave up motorcycle racing long ago and my life style is mostly sedentary now except when we have a tropical storm and I have to get out the trusty chainsaw. Betty and I enjoy camping in our Winnebago, sailing and touring Europe and the Caribbean.
