WHAT HAPPENED AFTER 1960??  Attended American Institute of Business in Des Moines.   Married in 1962 and traveled with Navy husband to line in San Diego, CA and then Guam.   In 1970 we returned to northern Iowa to raise 4 children and work in "husband and wife" Life
Insurance agency.  Moved to Chandler, AZ in 1986 to continue life insurance business.   Divorced in 1990.   Moved to Tucson and worked as Operations Manager in firm that developed and published study materials in the rehabilitation field.

What's up now?  For over 4 years I have worked as Development Coordinator for Travelers Aid Society, a non profit agency that assists homeless and near homeless individuals and families in moving toward self-sufficiency.   My job is to manager over 100 volunteers, fundraising, PR, grant writing, organizing special events, writing and publishing a newsletter etc.   With so many homeless families and children, there is a great need so I will probably hang around the agency forevermore.

Who have you kept in touch with?   Diane Evanson & Ray Mary Posson, but I'm sure they will both tell you I am the poor letter writer!


What is the chance of you making a 45th reuion (Aug 5th & 6th)   I will not be able to attend.   I will be visiting friends in Canada during that period.  Maybe in 5 years though.

Please tell us your favorite song

Pets-  Just lost my "best pal" Paddy, a sheltie, after 15 years - so I will be looking for a rescue dog. 

Hobby -  Spending time with my family and friends, swimming, gardening, traveling and visiting interesting areas, walking, reading and movies.

Marital status   Divorced
       
Kids  I have 4 children --- 1 son and his family in Mesa, AZ.   1 son and his family in Chandler, AZ.   1 daughter and her family in Omaha, NE.   1 daughter and her family in Esterville, IA.   And believe it or not, I have 11 grandchildren with one more expected in October.   We do love children!!!!!!!!!

Other comments    I have enjoyed reading about so many of my former classmates.   Would be most happy to hear from each and everyone.

I live in a manufactured home community with all kinds of activities, pools, exercise room, etc., and just love it. I also started working as the Volunteer Coordinator at the Arizona Science Center in downtown Phoenix a couple of months ago and just love it there too. So, obviously, I'm very happy with my move!
