Say Hello to Judy Tenenholtz

My three sisters welcomed me on March 24, 1953, to our home in Oakland, CA. My dad was a combat photographer in three wars, World War II, Korea, and Viet Nam. For a short period in my life, I lived in Montana, but California called me back. For thirty years I was a dental office manager here in Ventura. In my leisure time I played ladies and co-ed softball, beach volleyball, single and doubles tennis, and snow skied at Heavenly Valley in beautiful Tahoe. Hiking with the Sierra Club I met a partner, Allan, and we’d meet at the downtown Mission, hiking to the Ventura Cross, to the pier, harbor and around six miles of city trails. Often, we’d meet ahead of the hiking group and do the entire route and then repeat it. Twenty-six years together Allan and I decided nine years ago to make it permanent. With his boxing and physical fitness training skills he has helped me to contend with my MS diagnosis. We have a punching bag on our Townehouse balcony where we both work on our fitness together.
