"Hi Betsy, I think I was in a twig with you your first year in residence, maybe I was the twig leader, I can't remember! I do remember you face and your wonderful smile and that you were a very nice, sweet person, wonderful to be around. I'll check…"

"Hi Mick, It is great to see you here on the website. I remember when we dressed up as a "knight and knightess" for the "Knights and the Vikings" dance the first month of the 12th Corp. I think we made a horse out of some cardboard that you found. It…"

"Hi Bill. I'm leaving a quick message to say welcome. My memories are foggy, I do better with pictures. I have not even gotten around to putting up pictures myself! I'm still in the stone age - with a film camera! Blessings to you, Cathy"

Cathy (Pellegrino) Cendroski left a comment for Pamela Parker Hill

"Hi Pam, I'm so glad you are here. If you come across anyone we both know (like Jim Ellis), please let me know they are on the site and I'll do the same. If you like Anne of Green Gables and Tales from Avonlee, you will like a new PBS show called…"

"Hi DeLinda, Yes it was tough all of us in a small room. Gary writes (and I edit) screenplays, so your daughter Kelsey may be interested. Let me know and I'll let Gary know. Gary knew Bill before you two were married. He plays the guitar and sings…"

Cathy (Pellegrino) Cendroski left a comment for Carole J (Smith) Andreas

"Hi Carole, I still have great memories of the last block of the last year in residence, just before graduation and us sharing a bunk. You were a great friend. I hope you are doing well. As you put it, I am "abiding", also. Life can be tough. Gary…"

Cathy (Pellegrino) Cendroski left a comment for DeLinda Yord Claypool

"Hi DeLinda,

Remember the fun times (and hard work) our interim year at Headquarters? We were in the same trailer. How are you? Do you have any kids? Gary and I have two boys and they keep me on my toes. I hope you are doing well. Cathy Pellegrino…"

"Dear Sage, I was in 12th Corps and my husband Gary was in 11th. I know he spent some time in Indiana with the Family Corp, although I did not. He may know you. I am writing because we are just a few minutes away. Let's get together at Border's book…"

"Hi Vince, You don't know me but I remember Nancy and wanted to say Hi - so please pass it on to her. It's great seeing you guys. I'm not computer savvy enough yet to get our picture posted. Tell Nancy I roomed with her at Head Quarters our interim…"

"Hi Crae, I have used the cranial-sacro therapy with both my boys when they were babies. I wish the public knew how the skull is impacted during the birth process and how cranial-sacro (and chiropractic) helps with colic. The other stuff you mention…"

Cathy (Pellegrino) Cendroski left a comment for Mary Coons

"Mary, I'm getting back to you - very late! I have a 12 year old and a 7 year old and am now done! I would have loved to have more but we spent many years saving money so we could have one of us raise them instead of ABC Daycare down the street. I…"

"Hi Crae, I have been meaning to email you about my oldest son, to get your feedback concerning him. We just put in new flooring and now we are painting - the work seems to never end - so tomorrow is another day. But I did want to ask if you have…"

Cathy (Pellegrino) Cendroski left a comment for John Zika

"John, You probably don't remember me but I remember finding reasons to go see you in the library just because you were so calm, patient and nice. I am sure your patience is coming in handy with four children (I have two - but my oldest makes it so I…"

"Hey John, I would love to see everyone but with money being very tight, I wonder if we could do a West coast, Midwest and an East coast to save on trip costs. Just a thought. Cathy"

About Me

I moved back to Los Angeles area in 1984 and about 2 years later married Gary Cendroski (11th Corp) who grew up in St. Louis but was in the Monterey Bay area and I moved there. Living here has been a mixed blessing. It is a beautiful place but it is cold, damp and foggy (I'm near the ocean) most of the time and the cost of living is very high and the pay - not so good - although Gary has a good job. The middle/working class struggles and we spent those many, many days volunteering with the Way, (until about 1988). For the most part we spent the first 8 years of our marriage saving money so we could have kids and have one of us actually be with them. We have two boys and I'm a stay-with-my-kids mom (my term for stay-at-home mom) and we live in a too-small condo that, thank God, we own. God (my Father) is good and I continue to have a real, loving relationship with Him which is the best part of life and life is good, but I'm looking forward to the new heavens and new earth.

My Interests

The Bible, civic stuff, fencing (although not active with it lately), art, jewelry, writing. home remodeling (getting our place ready to sell so we can buy a house), and teaching about God, His word and spiritual things.

Employment or Career

I started a jewelry company called "Heavenly Jewels" last year but due to some illness in the family I have not been able to do as much with it as I hoped. I want to get an etsy.com page up and running. I use mostly gemstones with sterling silver. So far people have liked my designd. I also have a real estate license that I don't use and I've been printed often in the "Letters to the Editor" newspaper section, plus I have one published article. I edited Gary's screenplays and we're going to write together some more, after the kids are a little older.

Music I Like

I mostly listen to Christian, just because the words are better for my mind, but I like all music, from classical on, but can't get into Rap at all and don't like Hip Hop much.

Books I Like

Lately I don't have except for reading books regarding my business and health issues.

Television I like

It's pretty evil, mostly, I think. And stupid. I don't like the "soap opera" type shows, although I do like "Hot in Cleveland" sometimes. I did like the original "Law and Order" sometimes, "House", "The Mentalist", "Castle", and "Sarah Connor Chronicles" when it was on. Also, I like "So you think you can Dance" and we're watching "America's Got Talent" sometimes. I like smart stuff from Britain: "As Time Goes By", I like Masterpiece Mystery, I like "The Office" sometimes - hey, that was originally British! I also just found out about "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" and I love, love it. If I had more time I would read the books that the series is based on.

Movies I like

"Amazing Grace" and "National Treasure-Book of Secrets", "Narnia - Prince Caspian", "Wall-e". I loved "The Blind Side". I love the classics.

Sports Teams I like

No favs - just like to watch soccer, baseball - all sports actually, every so often. I loved watching the World Cup soccor matches last year.

Thanks for the birthday wishes Cathy! Tim & I are going out on the MSS Dixie for a ride on Lake Tahoe today. Andrew is home from his L.A. tour playing at the Disney Concert Hall with the Reno Phil Youth. You can see it on you-tube. So glad you are enjoying The Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency, awesome . Was it the book or the HBO dvd? I'm waiting patiently for season 3 of Larkrise to Candleford, love it! I'm living in the wrong century, as my friend Vicki so aptly nicknamed me Pamelot! Love to Gary...........

Cathy, I absolutely remember you! Nice reading the memories here. I don't remember alot about living in the trailer, but I do remember you girls blowdrying your hair bout midnight.. no idea how you girls did it... all crammed in those little rooms.
Great you are able to stay home with your kids. Bill and I had two, daughter Kelsey has graduated college and is an independent film maker. Son, Garrett is in first year of college and due home tonight. So glad you said hello, I found this site so late figured people didn't come here too often. Happy Easter "He is Risen" !

We hung out towards the end of the graduating year. You had asked me to go to Pasadena with you and I declined...did think about it for a while...

God bless you, Cathy, and thanks for your kind greeting. Congratulations to you and Gary on your family. We respect your effort and energy to stay at home with the kids ---- not everyone accomplishes that in life, but it can be a nice lifestyle if you can swing it. Karen knows you said "Hi" and she sends her love right back to you.

Please say hello to Gary for us, and all of God's best to you and your family each day!

In Christ,

John

Hey Cathy,
I will check out Feldenkrais. I have never heard of it. We do cranial-sacro therapy, sensory work, interactive metronome and the vital links listening program. I am interested in anything new that might help kids though. We do a modulation method that has help a lot of kids who have difficulty with focus etc.
