I was a teacher for 14 years and it was glorious. I have also had the privilege of working many jobs-my favorite: working for Feik School of Pharmacy. Always learning so I could handle different jobs such as office manager for several companies; surgeon's assistant; hospital surgery scheduler; creator of state assessments.

I love to read and needlepoint. My favorite times are with Doug and grandkids. I love the beach....with Day Doughty Smith and the other "Goddesses."
I just love being with people. I am blessed with soooo many friends- past, present and future.

Covid quarantine has made more of a recluse. I am just really happy at home.

Friendships:
Ginny Seymour, Suzy Sledge all going to Boerne whenever we could. Made some long time friends up there. Still friends.
Lyn Straus and Kathleen Drought are dear friends.
Went to prom with Robin Harris and anti-prom with Wayne Noll from Boerne.
Had to miss finals one December because of a hit in my eye with a Bic pen. Gary Kahn, dear friend, accidentally hit my desk in Ms. Mitchell's English class and the pen made a direct hit.
Loved Chaps and Spurs.
Another accident where I could not talk for 3 weeks.....Ms. Gray threw football at me and I was not ready. It hit directly in my throat/voice box.
I was really surprised and honored to be elected Spurs treasurer.
I really enjoyed high school.

I loved my teachers. Got in trouble at Woodridge for being bossy. (Who, ME?) Had to sit under a tree and watch everyone else play.
Loved Ms. Holleran, PE at Cambridge. Her bun, lips and earrings fascinated me. I did NOT like running the track though. I don't like exercise.
Loved standing in the hot sun to see President and Mrs. Kennedy drive by. Then the next day, the tragedy.
Lyn Straus had such fabulous birthday parties at Nana's. Loved being with Suzy Sledge and anyone else we could round up. My fwend, Ginny Seymour, and I are still close despite her living in California.
Adored Simo and Mrs. Reid and still use my typing skills and have fun with shorthand.
