Marital Status / Partner's Name / Children: I was married for the first time in 1995. I was 45 when I finally got married and consequently never had any children of my own. I do however have 3 fun loving/hard working stepchildren: Kirk, Scott and Shannon Ohmart.

Working / Retired? I work for Corell Construction Company in West Des Moines. I enjoy my job and I am only 1.3 miles from home which is pretty fortunate.

Activities you enjoy: Tom is a super guy and a whole lot of fun! He retired for 8 months - ventured out and bought a new Harley Davidson, which totally surprised me - and then decided to go back to work. He and his 3 brothers own a steel fabricating business in West Des Moines. I am trying to get back into riding the bike but it's amazing how much more appreciation for safety a person has as they get older!

Favorite song from the 60's for background music: Blue On Blue by Bobby Vinton and Little GTO

Other Memories

It's always been amazing to me how many memories I have of Clear Lake! Our family moved to Clear Lake in 1965 so I was a Clear Lake Lion for only 2 years!

I was very fortunate to meet some super people right away who took me in and included me right away - you know who you are - to all of you I sincerely say: "Thank You!"

Tom and I live "One Day at a Time" and have a whole lot of fun doing it. We are very simple people and as long as we have our health will continue enjoying the little things and laughing. We also have a black Pomeranian who goes everywhere with us. His name is Teddy O (everyone calls Tom - Tommy O). Teddy just turned 10 years old. The 3 of us are talking about moving to the Phoenix area sometime in the next year but there are a lot of things that will determine that.

I want to thank all of you doing this website - it's awesome and will be fun!
