 For more than 30 years, I moved steadily up the corporate escalator, from managing editor of the Kermit Daily Sun to vice president of one of the world’s most prestigious public relations giants, then into a VP slot with an international advertising agency. Along the way there was a 3-year stint as international spokesperson for the Boy Scouts of America. Along the way, I also got older. At 55, I was suddenly merged and purged in a feeding frenzy of corporate conglomerations. I finally found a comfy little niche, writing user guides for GTE. It was fun… it was challenging… it paid well. The perfect spot to finish out my working life. And wouldn’t you know it. Along comes another merger. High and dry again. And I suddenly find myself over-qualified for the workplace. As I sat there on the beach (well, in my mind anyway), listening to the waves and deciding I wanted to be a tugboat captain when I grew up, my reverie was interrupted by the phone. A friend wanted to know if I would be interested in teaching creative and poetry writing to at-risk students in the DISD. Sitting on the beach (especially in your mind) does get boring, so I joined the Writers in the School program, which is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. And I was hooked. Sharing my talent and years of writing experience opened a whole new career vista. Before long, I was substitute teaching in the Lewisville schools. And that’s where I am today. For rollicking tales of my personal life… well, you’ll just have to ask me at the 45th Reunion. Updated 09/18/2004.

Click to enlarge Don and I have been married for 44 years - (the 20th) and he forgot! Hope we make it to 45!!!! Seriously, we stay way busier than we ever intended. Don plays golf Tues. through Sat. I work at Steinmart 2 days a month (love that discount!!!) I am still teaching high school girls in Sunday School and very active with our youth group at First Baptist Church. Don teaches an old mans class (his age). We are so blessed by God and live our lives to honor Him. We have 5 grandchildren - ages 14, 13, 11, 10, and 6. Only 1 girl & 4 boys. We try to have Cousins Week every summer with all five and no parents are allowed. We do the water park, amusement park, eat out, do crafts, have a talent show, play games, and anything else I can find for us to do. Making great memories!!!! I recently have had a really weird viral infection. It settled in a nerve in my inner ear that leads to my brain. Scareeee - my brain sure doesn't need anything causing it anymore difficulty than old age does! I regret that I will be unable to come to the reunion but want to hear all about it from you all. I do thank all of you who have worked so hard for such a long time, getting everything organized and put together for the reunion. I will surely miss being there with you. Updated 08/30/04.
