9/15/2011 Bill Slatkin's Poem about East
I’ve been surfing the Classreport website,
find slightly familiar names and faces.
Search the archives of my memory for matches,
with only vague recognition in most cases.
And wit
. . .
Continued
After graduating from CSU with a major in aociology, I enrolled in DU to obtain an elementary teaching certificate. I got a job with DPS at Garden Place School located in Globeville. Most of the students came from Stapleton Project Homes. The job was both challenging and rewarding. After fourteen years of teaching, I took a medical leave (a survivor of bladder cancer) and then decided to "retire".
While I was teaching, I married and divorced and remarried. Bill, my second husband and my senior by 23 years, was an independent petrolium engineer. No one expected our marriage to survive, but we made it 33 years. Bill had a daughter attending CC. She graduated, married, and we soon had 3 grandchildren in our lives!
Times were fun in the oil and gas business in the late seventies and early eighties. I followed Bill to Texas and Oklahoma and learned about dry holes! Corpus Christi was like a second home for us. Besides business travel, we traveled with Ports-of-Call. The Club was a great way to travel while it lasted.
Along with our travels, we kept busy with bridge, volunteering at Children's Hospital with the Prescription Pet Program, politics, and of course, our three grandchildren.
A big change came to my life when I lost my parents, my twin sister Susie, and Bill in a ten year period. Now I live a content life with my yorkie, Mitzi. I continue to travel, but my great friends and relations are the foundation of my life.
