I graduated from Michigan State University in 1962. After 4 years of teaching, I decided it wasn't my thing. Luckily, the Navy was looking for purchasing agents. Since I have always loved buying things, it turned out to be the perfect job; first for the Navy and then for the Air Force. I spent a total of 32 1/2 years buying airplanes, engines, missiles and lots of spare parts. My last 30 years of Federal Goverment service was at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. I retired in January 2001.
Bill and I met at Wright-Patterson AFB in 1992 when I moved to a new job and we had ajoining offices. It was great working together for 3 years, buying trainer aircraft. After we retired, we spent our summers in Port Clinton, Ohio on Lake Erie and went south in the winter to Port Charlotte, Florida. In 2007, we became full-time Florida residents. Now, we travel as often as possible and enjoy biking, tennis, hiking,swimming and snorkeling.
In February 2007, we participated in our Riverwood community olympics and won a gold medal in the couples bike relay race. 12 teams; 3 heat races. It was my first athletic recognition ever!
We surprised everyone by getting married on May 29, 2008. It was the 16th anniversary of our 1st date. You need time to get to know someone and really shouldn't rush into such an important life decision! We look forward to many more happy years together.
My daughter, Stacy, gave birth to my 1st grandchild, Logan Ryan Oquist, on February 15, 2012 in West Palm Beach, FL. A baby girl, Zoey Noelle Oquist, arrived on September 8, 2014. So I'm now a very proud grandmother of 2 grandchildren. I'm looking forward to lots of fun times with them.
