Elizabeth
Elizabeth has been going from strength to strength.
She has close to the greatest longevity at Lanterman Special Ed. High School. She started as a teacher assistant
in 1978, and is now a teacher in her own right -- having battered down all the credential requirements in
her way, including a battery of standardized tests. And gradually, over the last several years, she has taken
the advice of our good friend and veteran teacher Edith Willoughby: DO NOT WORK SUMMER SCHOOL.
Most importantly (as the virtual poster child
for breast self-examination) she has survived breast cancer (and JUST because her own diligence caught it early enough).
Early in 2012 her new oncologist said that after almost 9 years without a relapse, she was for all intents and purposes:
cured!
Along with her niece Christine (Eggett) Burgoyne, Elizabeth has been admitted
to the DAR.

Karl Matz
Since 2003, Chef Karl
had been R&D director with the corporate offices
of The Cheesecake Factory. He was particularly responsible
for their Grand Lux operation. He was featured in an article about Cheesecake appearing in Time magazine
for 12 June 2006.
Since July 2007 he is again
back with his mentor Wolfgang. Previously Karl had worked at Spago (both old & new), the Food Network
show, and the Catering Kitchen at Hollywood & Highland (H & H, which does the Oscar night bashes which used to
be at the old Spago). He will be working the Oscar dinner this year, 2012.
Karl now has various
responsibilities with the corporation; but now his work involves much less travel than before. At the moment
his main responsibility is managing The Huddle, the food service at the NFL Network West in Culver City.
He has an active Facebook page.
