Upon
finishing High School, I entered College and gained 20 pounds! I
transferred and finished with a B.S. in Occupational Therapy at Colorado
State U. and lost 10 pounds. My first real job was in Hartford Conn., then
onto Baltimore, Maryland at John Hopkins Hospital for two years in
Psychiatric O.T. with an awesome on the job experience. That was followed
by 3 months tramping through 9 countries in Europe, via the Euro-rail and
hostels. Then back to the West Coast, (the more friendly territory to a
westerner). San Jose was the first stop. Dorothy (Naylor) Stanley
recognized me and took me in. Since 1971 Northern California, south of San
Francisco on the Peninsula, has been my home. Dorothy introduced me to my
first husband, and we wisely purchased our home in 1974. Two beautiful
daughters were a result of our union, yes a divorce, (minus 10 pounds) and
then his untimely death in 1996, (thatıs when the last 20 pounds came off
and stayed off!) January 1999 was the finish of my first career, HMOıs
and now Medicare cutbacks required a change of careers. It was back to
college and retraining in Early Childhood Education, let me tell you
teaching and chasing 9 to 10, 3 year old for 40 hours/week does not allow
joints and muscles to become stiff! In my experience, activity, diet and
relaxation are the secrets of l-o-n-g life. Even better yet, is that close
intimate relationship with
God himself, for he has always been my safety net when the road was long
and the going tough. I hope the same conclusion has been your experience.

Sixty years old...YIKES! Happy Birthday to all of us! A good
time to update my profile since it has changed in the past 3 years.
After 30 years with the federal
government (Women's Army Corps, then US Postal Service), I retired in
2000, then in 2001 got a part-time job as a drawbridge tender for Palm
Beach County. It has turned out to be quite enjoyable. Not
too strenuous, mostly enjoying the view of the Intercostals Waterway,
sail boats, etc. So I will be getting a full time job next month,
looking toward a second retirement in 5 or 6 years.
My husband, Don, is a retired print shop owner,
now doing freelance art work and typesetting at home. My son,
Chester, is now 35 and has moved to Bangor Maine as Art Director for the
brand new magazine Maine Times. And, we've become the proud
parents of two adorable cats in the past year. And so goes our
golden years....

CURRENT
ACTIVITIES: Love this retired feeling. I spend a lot of
time just puttering around outside and re-painting the inside of the
house. I guess you could call it re-furbishing an old fixer-upper.
Bonnie works as an LPN so I pretty much have the place to myself
except for our Persian Cat and 2 Pomeranians that we have.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LAST 40 YEARS. finding Bonnie !!!!! Went
into the service in 62, got the active duty out of the way. Came
home and got married in 66. Had 1 son Rick, got divorced in 69.
Spent some time in San Francisco in 68 and became a hippie. Went
to work selling auto parts, and had to get rid of the long hair.
That career lasted till 89 when I went to work for a door factory
here in Spfld. That place closed its doors in 94 so I moved to
Redmond and went to work making door parts. Bought a home in Redmond
and 4 years later sold it for a small profit. Got my knee injured in
97 and retired. I met this wonderful red-head, and we got married in
July 99. Can't believe it took 40 years to find her. In this
marriage I gained 2 more sons and a "whole passel" of Grandkids.
About 14 at last count. We lost Dad in 86, and had to put Mom
in a home. We're looking forward to seeing everyone Friday night.
Take Care You. Tom

Hi Guys- it is with a heavy heart that I inform you all that I lost
Bonnie to Pancreatic Cancer on Nov. 18, 2002. Right now, I'm just
taking one-day-at-a-time. All I can do. This weekend I'm
having a garage/yard sale to relieve some of the memories. I'll
never get rid of them all, but this will help. I got woke up at
midnight, seems my Pomeranian saw fit to bless me with 3 babies.
Now I got to find homes later on. Daddy and Momma were AKC
registered, so I'm going to figure out a price for them when they're
older. I don't know if one of the black girls will make it or not.
Sure hope so. Kind of weird, a cat person having puppies. Oh
well, money in the bank. I know this isn't much of an update on
the bio, but all I can do for now. God, I miss her.
