It is amazing to me that I have lived in San Diego longer than I lived in West Lafayette, just as it is hard to believe that it has been 40 years (AGHH!) since we graduated from WLHS.

 

For me the past forty years have been good.  My husband Mike and I just celebrated our thirty-sixth wedding anniversary.  We have four adult children, three children in law and our first grandchild due in mid August.  I missed our tenth reunion because of pregnancy related problems and I will miss the fortieth because that child is due to deliver her first baby, also I have to be back at work—minor detail.

 

I followed in the family tradition and am a CPA.   I work as the accountant at one of the high schools in our local school district.  It is a busy job with 2400 students and 130 staff members and 1 accountant.   I never wanted to teach, but I really enjoy have students around with their enthusiasm, energy, and the usual craziness that they bring.  It was a perfect job for a mom with four kids, as I always had the same vacations that they had.  Now I am afraid to give it up because I am afraid I will begin to think and act like an old fuddy-duddy if am not around teenagers.

 

In my spare time I enjoy reading, crafting, church activities and our newest hobby, square dancing.  We travel, often to visit the three of our children who did not stay local (Pennsylvania, Illinois and Washington).  I get to Indiana pretty regularly to visit my parents, especially as they have aged and their health declined.

 

If any of you are in San Diego, give me a call.
