After graduation, I spent the summer working for McAllister & Johnson, a legal firm in Sacramento. In the autumn I started classes at Sacramento State College. The next year I worked at the college for a year as a secretary in the new Housing Department before transferring to San Francisco State College as an elementary education major. However, the lure of travel got the best of me and instead of doing my student teaching, I joined Pan American Airlines and within two weeks was living in New York City.
At that time crews at Pan Am covered Europe and Asia as far as Hong Kong from New York or San Francisco. Our layovers were several days in some cities and always long enough to get to see the city and surrounds.
I met my future husband, John, two weeks after moving to New York and when we became engaged, I transferred back to San Francisco to be near home before the wedding. I then flew the Pacific routes. It was a great experience.
John and I were married in Sacramento in December 1963 and immediately moved to Winans Lake, Michigan. I loved living in rural Michigan through the frozen winter.
Six months later John was transferred by Ford Motor Co to Nairobi, Kenya, where we spent 7 wonderful years immersed in the beauty of Kenya and its fascinating wildlife. We made new friends, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, and spent most of our free time in the bush, camping or on safari or traveling as John covered most of East and Southern Africa for Ford.
In 1970 we sadly said goodbye to Africa as we were transferred to Athens, Greece. Our first son, John was born there in 1973. The history of Greece was fascinating, and we traveled and sailed to many of the islands.
In 1973 we moved to England where our second son, Tyler, was born in 1974. John left Ford Motor Co and we opened our own Ford dealership and stayed there for the next 25 years. We lived in Worcester and I opened the first pizza/pasta restaurant in the town.
England and the English were the best! Our years in England were filled with good friends and mostly bad weather! But we loved it. We managed to ski somewhere in the Alps every year with our sons and we all remember those days as wonderful family times.
We spent several years in Madison, Wisconsin before returning to California. I have worked in real estate since we returned, but now spend my time volunteering at Vacaville Museum. We ski often in winter and are reminded what a great area this is in which to live. Four years ago, we planted a vineyard here in Vacaville, growing Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
Our current news is the addition to our family. Tyler and his wife, Susana, have given us a wonderful grandchild, Daisy Bright Benz who is now 7 years old, a beautiful child we get to see and enjoy every week! Our son, John and his wife Marie have a healthy, happy life in Seattle which means we get to travel there twice a year!
We are grateful for our family and our good health! Being able to connect with many friends from my high school years has been very meaningful for me.
