Hi Gloria... Don't know if you remember me. Bruce Zimmerman, class of '70. We communicated briefly about fifteen years ago... I got to know Mike Wagner out here in LA because of your intro. The other day I was surfing around the net and stumbled on your new, improved Ro-Hawk website. Great job. Briefly, I've been working out here in the TV business since 1994. Have worked on a number of shows, including Desperate Housewives, CSI:NY, Judging Amy, The District, etc. Currently I'm executive producer on Army Wives, the Lifetime series. Seems like I'm destined to be around things military no matter what. Still happily married to Maria-Pia, the woman I met in Costa Rica, and we've been living in Malibu since 1998. There, I guess that gets me current. Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Now I know where I can drop in to catch up on some of the people I used to know way back when. Bruce
I'll ask my wife about the photo. I'm bad about all things photographic and technological, which is a bad combination when sending digital photos. I'll for sure stay in touch. I did not actually graduate from RHS. My father retired before my senior year and we moved back to California. The reunion sounds fun, but we're knee-deep in production that time of the year and free time is scarce. Take care...

Hi, Gloria...
Yes, this e-mail is correct. Actually, CRIMSON GREEN was the fourth and last of the Quinn Parker series. And yes, I have a copy of the book. Would you like me to send you one?
Hope all is well. I've enjoyed looking at the Ro-Hawk reunion photos, though most of those people were a year or two or three ahead of me and I didn't know them very well. But every once in awhile I'll see somebody from my class (Carol Troberman, for example, or my old math teacher Mr. Porter), and that's always fun. I've been very busy... hence unable (and too lazy) to write. I'm back on the third season of Army Wives and at the moment am writing the first episode of the new season. The staff got to fly out to Fort Irwin on a Blackhawk helicopter last week to do research at the National Training Center which was amazing. The Army has built an entire Iraqi village out in the middle of the Mojave desert, complete with 2000 volunteers to populate it, goats in the street, etc., to simulate conditions over there.
Take care, and have a safe and joyous holiday season...
Bruce
i'll send both over to you. the 3rd book is FULL-BODIED RED, a wine country mystery. i'm delighted to know that your son enjoyed the books. any chance i have to convert (or at least start the conversion) of a non-reader to a reader, i feel good.
and of course you have my permission to put whatever you want on your blog. i'm not bashful! i'm actually working with a writer on this season of army wives who worked with mike wagner back in the hill st. blues days.
