I seem to have so many projects going that I
never stop to get it all down in one place. I wind up trying
to tell folks what I'm up to these days. This page is to link
my activities and interests, for all my friends and relatives,
so that we might have Mind Storms together and build an even
better world.
Mind Storm Counter:
Go Milpitas!
Your portal to web sites of interest
in Silicon Valley & Milpitas, CA
When it came to my attention that the only two web sites being
built for Milpitas were City Hall's and an online copy of the
directory, I said to my friends, "We need an online community!"
Got to have interaction and communication. Stir things up a bit.
So I'm constantly updating and expanding this site, hoping to
have a link to every site in Milpitas that's at all interesting.
Need to find a local movie? Know the weather in Milpitas?
Looking for something fun to do or just want to peek in some
of the businesses around here, maybe find a better job in Silicon
Valley. I know the town and I know the web. That's what make
the Milpitas Community Web Site something special. My gift to
the city. Enjoy!
I search the web for the best pages
about homeschooling
for you, and write weekly features about aspects of this lifestyle
to share and guide you through.
Lots of models are needed for a child to understand complicated
concepts. As a "unschooling" homeschool family, we
spend lots of time getting hands-on experience. So I've created
a Bay Area homeschooling website for our friends and families.
Internet Genesis
has graciously provided the extremely fast server for both the
Milpitas and the Homeschooling site.
I was a member of the pioneer
class at UC
Santa Cruz. Started when student dorms were trailers
on the Field House field back in 1965. The Field House, Nat Sci
1, and the administration building next to the library were the
only permanent buildings up. Well, the old barns near the entrance
were there, but not remodeled yet.
Went to my 30 year reunion recently. Click here
to see how "Ann Peterson (Zeise)" looked like at age
17 and at the reunion on April 17, 1999. I'm the second photo
in the set. The photos from a 1965 UCSC directory were used for
our nametags so we could figure out who was who.
For the last several years I've been on the steering committee
for the Silicon Valley Alumni Association. Not sure what is going
to happen to it with Heather leaving as chair. If you want information
about the Alumni group in your area, contact UCSC Alumni Assoc.

I have volunteered to assist my old high schoolon the Alumni Council.
I was appointed in September 1997. If you went to Head-Royce,
and can help contribute something you wrote or have any scanned
photos, email me.
My daughter, Sara Dodge Ellsworth,
graduated from Milpitas High School, went on for a degree
in Communications and Sociology at UC Santa Barbara, worked as a Product Manager
for Big Dogs Sportswear
in Santa Barbara, CA. She is married to Sterling
Ellsworth, CPA, who has his own web page with some family
photos buried in there. And now we also have Gavin,
our grandson,
