Career history: I worked for (then) American Bank from
1954 to 1957, and again for the period 1958 to 1960.

Personal Interest: I enjoy
travel and playing bridge.
Personal Information: Children
3, grandchildren 3 – I love them to death.
Leisure Activities: Reading,
crafts, scrap booking, visiting my grandchildren.
I no longer work. My current
activities include the above, plus playing bridge.
The major events after BHS
include my marriage, the birth of my three daughters, the
death of my husband, and the birth of my grandchildren
I don’t think I have any spectacular
accomplishments in my life that I can point to, but I have
lived a productive and happy life. I am happy. I have lived
a happy life, and for that I feel proud and fortunate.
Summary of the last fifty years:
I don’t think I will ever forget the school itself, and the
lobby between classes-like a stampede. There have been good
times and bad, with the good times coming out on top. I
enjoyed being involved in the lives of my daughters (Jodi,
Staci and Cristi) while they were growing up and now. I made
some wonderful friends over the years. I now have three
wonderful sons-in-law whom I dearly love and three “great”
grandchildren. All of my brothers and sister are still
living. I have a lot of nieces and nephews. We are a very
close family and enjoy getting together. I truly have great
memories.
My hope for the future is for me
to live to a ripe old age and be able to still live by
myself and take care of myself. There isn’t much to still
wish for except maybe to win a jackpot!!
I enjoy
the life I have, and feel very fortunate for what I have.
Therefore, I am not looking to make changes in the future. |
