Currently I am recuperating from a very difficult year.  I will tell you all about it at the reunion.
Brief history:  1960's wasted my youth with Elaine Winn Bails.  We both decided to be grown ups in the early 70's.  I married in 1973.  In 1976, I returned to school and eventually got an MSW from the University of Washington.  I have lived in the Seattle area for the past 20 years.   Since my husband has a good job, I don't work.  However, I keep very busy with volunteering, reading, traveling, gardening and all the other things I like to do.

We¹ve raised four children who are beautiful beings, all employed and on their own, but who place coming home to visit as one of their priorities.

OK a little about what's been going on with me since the last reunion. On  July 9th 2000 I remarried after 23 years of being single. As I wrote in the synopsis for Jan  my new Hubby is a very brave man to take on a woman who has been independent for such a long time. Fortunately for me, or maybe for him as well, he is a very patient man. Being married again after such a long time of being the decision maker and having to be in control all of the time has been a bit of a challenge for me, but it's all on track and working very well.
  We have been busy updating the house he has owned for 22 years. It has been fun, and challenging as well. We unfortunately hired the remodeler from "Hell", and had a disaster with our kitchen and dining room floor, which we are stuck with for another year or so, but is livable for the time being.
  I am still working full time doing hair. Our clientele is mostly little old ladies,( I'm beginning to relate to them more and more, and that scares the heck out of me), It has been a stable career and kept the home fires burning.  I hope to go  to part time in a couple of years.
  My children are grown and live locally. Neither one is married yet and no Grandkids of my own, but my hubby has 3 and a new one due in July, so I get to be Grandma to them.
