Personal Info: Can't believe it has been 40yrs. since we were in High School. Don't know about you BUT I'M NOT OLD. Just can't seem to get out of the retail business. I have five booths in the Quilted Bear (since we closed our store 11yrs. ago) I volunteer at the base thrift store. Hobbies-I guess has been a soccer mom, world traveler (Germany, Poland, Hungry, Switzerland, Austria, Korea, Japan, Hawaii, Italy, etc) and best of all being a grandma to my 13 grandchildren all under 11. Was a substitute teacher. Mostly Special Ed in the high school. It helped supplemental income while my husband earned his Masters in Business Administration.

After 5yrs. I changed careers and started tending grandkids full time. Stacie our oldest being a single mom of 3 graduated from Weber State and was honored with the Woman of the year award. Delonni lives in San Diego with her family. Her husband is a Marine and has had two tours to Iraq. Dustin lives with his family in Layton. Our son Scott lives in Farr West with his family and with 2 of my darling grandsons that I tend during the week. Our youngest Michael who escorted me to our 30th. Is now 25 has been on mission to Korea came home and jointed the National Guard in the Military Intelligence Corp. Went to Iraq as an Interrogator and now teaches Military Intelligence at Fort Hiachuga in AZ. with his wife and our newest grandson.

We have housed 25 foreign exchange students from Germany, Japan, Korea, Mexico and we have had 5 teenage foster boys. My Husband Jay of 35years was a Senior Engineer for Dynamics Research Corp. before being deployed and was just released as of July 25th after being Active Duty at Fort Carson, Colo. as a Battalion, Brigade and Garrison Command Sergeant Major with the Army reserves for the past 2 1/2yrs.

I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO LIVE IN AMERICA IN THE LAND OF FREEDOM. WE ARE SO LUCKY. (AS I LOOK AT IT I WOULD RATHER PLAY (FIGHT) IN SOMEONE ELSE YARD THAN MINE. JUST BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE, AN AMERICAN!!!

Well I'll being seeing you all again in another 10yrs. GUESS WHAT!! IT WILL BE THE BIG 50!!!!! AND WE WILL STILL LOOK YOUNG!!!!
