-- Four grown children, the last one still living (mostly just SLEEPING!)
at home! Currently happier than any time in life! In 2004 I took a
dare from a friend and re-found the love of my life that I lost in 1968 when he
got drafted – Alan Perkins from Marshalltown, IA. We met originally at
City Beach, summer of ’67, and were engaged when he left for basic
training. Army discipline, the threat of Vietnam, and a big
misunderstanding tore us apart. The first time we talked after we re-found
each other, he asked me if I still had the ring he gave me, and he was shocked
to find out I did. I told him I couldn’t wear it as I had lost one of the
stones. He wanted to have it repaired, which he did, and gave it back to
me. I am wearing it again now! When we re-found each other, we went
back to City Beach for our first meeting and discovered neither of us had ever
gotten over the other, that we were still madly in love, and we had to figure
out what to do about that. Well, the short version is that a few months
later he moved to Minneapolis, and we have been together ever since. Life
is good!
Working /
Retired? Activities you enjoy: Working full-time PLUS. My primary job is as
Risk Management, Quality Improvement, and Continuing Medical Education
Coordinator/Patient Services Representative for Emergency Physicians, PA, an
emergency medicine partnership of 115 docs who staff the Emergency Departments
of six Minneapolis metro hospitals. One of my roles in this position is to
handle all escalated patient grievance calls. Second job is doing
administrative/communication support for one of my former tenants (from my last
job as Business Manager for BCI Business Center in Edina, MN). I do all his work
from home by fax and e-mail.
I love going to
concerts with Al, and in the past three years we have seen Travis Tritt, Tom
Jones, Bill Engval (comedian), Liverpool Legends (Beatles look-alikes), and many
others. We also follow a favorite regional band from the Eau Claire WI
area, Marshall Star Band (they often play at Diamond Joe’s Casino in north Iowa,
Treasure Island Casino in Hastings MN, and The Isle Casino in Waterloo.)
We have also been busy
the last three years renovating my house, with the ultimate goal of figuring out
where we REALLY want to live… unfortunately we haven’t figured that out
yet!
I spent several years
back in school after a back injury took away my nursing career, and I ended up
with a Master’s Degree in Religious Leadership, and ordination for
community-based ministry. I work extensively with families and
individual’s who have no church connection, providing pastoral care, short-term
grief counseling, and funeral services. I’ve even done a few weddings, and
I am thrilled to say I will be officiating my brother’s wedding this
summer.
Favorite song from
the 60’s for background music:
“Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers
