1963 Oceanside High School (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781461184263)

Dick graduated from Oceanside High School, along with the other thirteen in this book, in 1963. 1963 is a special year because that is the same year that "American Graffiti" took place. He then attended the nearby junior college and his sophomore year went out for the track team. He became the top javelin thrower in the junior colleges in California and received a full athletic scholarship to UCLA. In 1966, UCLA won the national championship and Dick became an All-American. He also set the UCLA school record. Dick worked in the Los Angeles Unified School District for 34 years, mostly as a school psychologist. Twice he was honored as a "School Psychologist" of the year, and in June of 2000 he was honored by Channel 13 as their "Hero of the Week," for saving students lives. He has written a book about his experiences, "A School Psychologist in East L.A." and it can be purchased through Amazon.com. He is an avid beach volleyball player and has teamed with Butch May, the father of Misty May-Trainer, and twice won the California State Cup in the master's division. Dick is a follower of the now deceased Indian guru, Sai Baba. He's made 13 trips to India and has three books published in India about his experiences. Sai Baba's philosophy of love, peace, truth, right action, non-violence are principles that Dick lives by. He has also made seven trips to Brazil and John of God. Dick is identified as "son of the casa" which indicates that he appears to have a special healing capacity.
