Event Announcement!

70th Birthday Bash pictures are viewable...!

Hi All:

The slide show program wouldn't let me place all pictures into one album, therefore I had to split them into two presentations; Album 1 above and Album 2 below.

Click anywhere within the picture frame or text. Once in, click on "Slideshow" to advance pictures after 4 second delay. You can change the speed by clicking the down arrow and selecting the speed you want.

To get back to our website home page, click the "back arrow" several times until you're in.

Regards, Marianne

Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Dolores O'Connor


The first reunion I attended was our 50th reunion. WOW - what a marvelous opportunity. So many of you welcomed me with open arms and had many special memories to share. Thanks for making it a once in a lifetime experience for me. My tenure at WHS may have been short but my memories are long.

Personally and professional life has been good. Very proud of my academic accomplishments but degrees do not make a person they only provide a path for the future. Health care provided me an extremely rewarding and successful career. My entry was physical therapy, specializing in care of children with physical disabilities, primarily the post polio era, and the burn unit. Due to progressive Multiple Sclerosis ended my career early as VP of Professional Services with a large health care network in Georgia. Moved to Southern California (Orange County) in 2004. Most recently began accompanying a neurologist as the professional patient advocate for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Still love my music. Played the sax and oboe all through undergrad but was never serious enough to consider music as a vocation. Recently, purchased an oboe and am now playing in a community orchestra just for “fun”. Volunteer with the Pacific Coast Symphony Orchestra, active in my church, and past president of the second largest duplicate bridge club in the US. Never played any bridge until I moved to California. Play 4-6 days a week – perhaps I am addicted! Writing a book, Honey Girl. It is in the final stages and striving to go to press before 2017. On occasion still cook a gourmet type meal for my family and friends.

Two Burmese cats are my "kids in fur coats". No children – not by choice. Before the MS took charge of my life I had my share of traveling, boats, marinas, golf courses, ski slopes and horses. Accomplished one of my life long goals to visit every state and most major national parks.

Life has supplied me many rewards and opportunities. In spite of the MS I still see my life as half-full rather than half-empty. I am thankful God oversees each and every day and all of the blessings he provides. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!
