Home at last together to our la Jolla, CA oceanfront apartment
where we can sleep tonight to the sound of the surf pounding
against our front deck. In early January, Debbie and I were invited
for a weekend at Sands Resort in Las Vegas by my father and mother.
As we walked in Debbie asked, is that your mother over there in a
crowd of people, I said, "Yes, how did you know." "She looks like
you" was her reply. My mom Alberta Roach loved to entertain guests
at her home in New Jersey and immediately welcomed Debbie into the
Roach family. The two of them were inseperable the entire weekend.
Alberta would become Debbie's new mother as they both had the same
sense of humor and desire to perfect the art of entertaining. Dad
and I watched play-off football while the two women enjoyed each
others company. Alberta and Debbie became friends for life. It was
a sad day for both of us when they imploded the Sands Resort in Las
Vegas, because we all had fond memories of Debbie's first meeting
with my parents and her being so warmly welcomed into the Roach
family. Back in La Jolla Debbie let my son Michael know that she
would cook him anything he wanted at least once a week, so every
Friday night Mike was there for dinner, which further sharpened
Debbie's culinary skills. A giant of a man moved in next door, his
name is Duncan Edwards and is a good friend to this day. Duncan was
the tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers right up to the year of
the start of the Pittsburgh dynasty. Duncan could smell Debbie's
cooking and often invited himself to dinner. During these years
Duncan became construction superintendent of Barona Casino, one of
San Diego's first casinos. Debbie and I saw the birth of San
Diego's Indian Casino Industry with intimate detail through our pal
Duncan. Duncan, like my son also became a regular invitee to
Debbie's experimental cooking. Debbie and I had season tickets to
the San Diego Opera, San Diego Chargers and San Diego Padres and
occasional tickets to San Diego Symphony, so between her cooking
and all this activity she was a very busy lady. After two years of
ocean front living Debbie starting getting ear infections, the
doctor claimed it was common for people living too close to the
ocean, so we moved to a four bedroom home near the top of Mt.
Soledad in La Jolla. From ocean front to mountain top with a much
larger kitchen and huge deck with a hot tub overlooking the
Pacific.
