Bio on Elder Vern Hixson

After the mission in July 1977 I attended Long Beach (CA.) City College for a year and continued a friendship with a wild Elder named Bill Luckow. After a failed attempt at romance we both embarked to the happy hunting grounds of BYU. I met my wife on the way there and Bill met his there. I married in April 1980 in the Oakland temple and lived in SLC for a year working for Sears.

In 1981 we moved to Sacramento, CA. ,where my wife is from and had various jobs, then to Los Banos, CA. in 1986, where he have lived ever since. Los Banos is a small but growing farming community in the Central Valley. After finally getting my B.A. degree I worked for AM/PM mini-marts as a field supervisor, then decided to follow my dream and get into teaching. I have been teaching for 9 years now, English Language Development and currently 6^th grade. I have 6 kids ages 21-10 with my 2^nd oldest on a mission in Indianapolis, Indiana.

I still wear clothes that I got in Costa Rica and Nic and have the Pearl of Great Price facsimiles hanging on the wall of my house. I have been in bishoprics, H.P. group leader and am currently on the High Council working with the Spanish branch in the Merced Stake. I look forward to seeing all of the millionaires at the reunion in October.
