My fondest school years memories are chorus, being a drummer in the band and marching at football games.
Mom and I moved to CA in '57 where I met Don. I returned to Elk to live with my grandparents and graduated with my ECHS class. Don came to see me in April before reporting to Uncle Sam, at which time we became engaged. After graduation, I worked for Western Outdoor News, then Travelers Insurance in Los Angeles until Don returned from Okinawa. We married April 9, 1960.
I became a stay-at-home mom. Mark arrived July 4, 1961; Audra on September 23, 1967. Don started his own business in 1965, which we still maintain.
I took up a latent desire to oil paint in 1968. This eventually led to participation in the Catalina Art Festival every September since 2000.
I went back to work in the early 90's: sales secretary, contractor at Nissan HQ in tech publications, Logistics Coordinator at Toyota, Administrative Assistant at a Greek Orthodox Church, 5 months for a law firm (one of Michael Jackson's many lawyers!), Executive Assistant for a dermatologist. I began an exciting new job in IT in May, 2008, as a Quality Assurance Analyst, performing evaluations on the help line techs recorded phone calls. I am fortunate to have a wonderful boss and the best co-workers ever. I have arrived!
Mark is a computer consultant, scoutmaster, Special Olympics coordinator, ham operator, volunteer with local police departments. He and Brenda live nearby in Torrance, CA, with Thomas 20, Jennifer, 18.
Audra and husband, Jim, live in San Bernardino, CA, with their cat, Squirrel, where Jim is a commercial truck driver/trainer.
My mom passed away April 10, 2010, the day after our 50th anniversary at age 92. We buried her back home and had our delayed anniversary party in June.
Don and I continue with swing and hustle dancing and karaoke. It keeps us off the streets.

Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
