My name is Cheryl Lynn Glaiser, I was born in Oakland Ca in 1961. I grew up in Walnut Creek Ca when it was pretty much a cow town. Boy, has it changed in 40 some years. We lived in the hills of Walnut Creek in a house on a big lot with a creek that ran through it. I loved to play in the hills and we would often slide down the dry yellow hills in the summer on card board boxes. It was a lot of fun playing in those hills which quickly ended with the construction of new homes. It was the beginning of the growth of Walnut Creek from a small town to a large city.
