Bye Bye New York Hello California
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, San Luis Obispo, CA 1975-1976 Student
I decided to return to California during my Freshman year in College
at a Movie Theatre in Rochester NY. It was a movie that was obviously
filmed in California with all the palm trees, green lawns, sunny weather.
It was in the dark theater sitting alone seeing the Palm Trees my mind
was set on returning home to Sunny So Cal. While at RIT I started the
process to transfer to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Due to my excellent
grades at RIT and Program Graphic Communications I was transferring
to I was accepted. RIT was known as a top-notch school for printing
majors back in the day and Cal Poly SLO was right up there with
RIT for students seeking a career in the printing industry or Graphic
Communications Industry. Little did I know then that I was pursuing a
degree in a major and field of study I was not passionate about. I just
wanted to work for my Dad which was my focus. After arriving back in
California from RIT I went back to work for the summer at my Dad’s
Business and was living at my Uncle’s house which was next door to
my Mom’s House. My Uncle Lou who owned a Liquor Store in South
Pasadena had a spare bedroom in their home which they offered to me
which was very generous. My schedule was to get up at 5:00am for the
drive to my Dad’s Printing Company where I was hired for the Summer
for just a few months as a Delivery Driver. My job was to check into the
shipping department in the morning and get my instructions from the
Shipping Manager on what my driving duties would be for the day.
