After thirty years of service, Van retired from Pacific Telephone Company as a relocation manager. He then began organizing day trips and extended trips for his friends. This led to the birth of his company: ROTG, which is short for Retirees on the Go. For nineteen years he managed to plan trips locally, across the country and to Europe.

TCUSD improves attendance The Temple City Unified School District thanks its school families for making sure children are attending school and are ready to learn. Every school increased student attendance. District-wide student attendance has increased from 97.43% to 97.74%. For the current school year, this increase brings $96,323.70 in additional revenue into the District. If the student doesn’t attend school for one day, the District doesn’t get paid and, again, based upon the District’s current ADA and our funding per student that will equate to a loss of approximately $1 million each year. Absences from school should only be for health reasons, family emergencies and justifiable personal reasons, as permitted by law and District policy. Also, whenever possible, schedule all appointments during non-school hours.
