Where to begin. And where to stop. Loretta Riccuiti (SV '58) and I decided to strike out in the world and immediately upon graduation headed for Washington DC, where we had jobs waiting for us as secretaries in the Dept of Navy, Bureau of Naval Personnel.
Not long after arriving, I met my future husband, Joe Lazenby, who was in the Navy serving in the DC area, but was actually from Carlsbad NM. Life moved on as it does and Joe and I were married in September 59 (I am happy to say we are looking forward to our 50th anniversary in Sept '09), and started our life on the move.
We lived in Rhode Island, I returned to Erie when he was shipped overseas, and our first child, a son, was born. We then moved back to his home in Carlsbad where our two daughters were born. Soon, we decided to go back to school (in Portales, NM) in order for Joe to get his education.
Three years later, his first job out of school took the Lazenby clan to Bartlesville, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City, OK.
From there we went on to the Jackson MS area before moving to Worthington and then Dublin, near Columbus OH. Soon word came that he was needed in Midland TX and finally Houston TX area where we have made our home for the past 18 years. Every four years I get the itch to move, but I have discovered that if I paint a room or change the furniture around, I get over it.
We actually lived in The Woodlands (27 miles north of Houston) for 15 years until we built our retirement home six miles up the road in Conroe, TX, in an Active Adult Community named Windsor Lakes.
Our children have blessed us with six grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild, and live in Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. We go back and forth to see them when we have time.
We have fallen into the delightful job as Cruise Tour Conductors. So far we have taken a group to New England, Nova Scotia, and Canada during the fall of the year; and are putting the final touch on a Grand Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona Spain to Venice Italy this September with 77 guests coming along. That should keep us busy and out of trouble.
Up until this time I spent my life being a wife, raising my children, holding down a job occasionally, as an administrative assistant in the educational, engineering, and real estate fields, and finally a 1600 member Lutheran church. I think this is where I need to stop, but first I would like to say that I am truly happy to be here and to see all of you again, and hope that life brings you nothing but good from here on out.
