Personal: How did you meet your spouse, where do your children live, what do they do,etc.
I met my husband Jim through a mutual friend and we are so happy it should be against the law! We have a wonderful time together and I wish we had met sooner! We have 5 children between us who live in either Oregon or Montana. Our two grandchildren live in Montana so we tend to make a few trips there each year! One son has a coffee roasting business, one is a teacher, one daughter is a school counseor, one is in school for nursing and one is a 911 dispatcher and EMT. They are all out of the house and self-supporting! YEA!!!
Education: After Manatee High including formal education, work related or specific licenses or certifications.
After Manatee High, I spent two years at Manatee Junior College and then finished at Florida State with a degree in Criminology and Corrections. In 1974 I earned my Masters degree in Education. In 1988 I received my second Bachelor's degree in elementary education.
Career:
Work/Military Experience including current job.
After Florida State, I went to South Korea to work for the Army (civilian) as a recreation director on an Army post. I came back to Bradenton for a short while and worked for a year on a team that was developed to help smooth the desegregation of the Manatee County schools. Next on to Georgia and back with the Army where my fiance was stationed. We had met in Korea and married in 1971. We moved to his home state of Oregon and that is where I have been ever since! I have spent my entire working career in education as a counselor, Title I teacher, music teacher and classroom teacher. I am currently serving as the president of our 315 member teachers' union.
Spare time: What are your Hobbies and how do you spend your time outside of work.
When I have spare time, my husband and I love to travel as much as we can. We spent our honeymoon in the UK and have been all over the United States on train, plane, bus, and car! I have also been all over the Orient and some places in Europe. I also live for the time I can spend with my grandchildren in Montana.
Other Comments: Anything else you would like your classmates to know about you.
Life has been an interesting journey! Since all of my family still live in Bradenton I do get back there once in awhile but the funny thing is I never see anyone I know! My husband and I talk about retiring part of the year to Florida so I can see my family more and who knows, maybe then I will run into some old classmates! Even if I don't make the reunion this year, I will be thinking about you all and reading the biographies. Have fun!
