I was born at St. Joseph Hospital, 9/15/43, and my Mom received a free ambulance ride home because my twin and I weighed so much (each over 8 lb.).

As with all of us there have been many experiences in this incredible journey called life. My first job was at Woolworth's selling fruit at Christmastime for people to make fruitcakes.  I did not know how to measure the fruit, so I guessed and people were coming back lining up for more.  The manager wanted me to stay full time.  Little did he know that I was almost giving the fruit away! Do you think this paved my way into a long-time sales career? I may not have increased revenue for the communication company, but I sure increased its' customer base! Ha!

Reminiscing about the past makes me realize how precious now is.  We all are making memories right now.

When I was young I wanted to be a missionary and teacher, and do something athletic. It is amazing how God has brought those things into my life. In the past few years, I substitute with special Ed adaptive PE and am involved in "Missionary work" here serving my best friend, Jesus. I also won the gold medal two years in a row for------------------------two mile walk, Senior Olympics. Ha!

I have 4 children (3 from a prior marriage, 39,37,36 and one from present marriage, 26) and 4 grandchildren, of which my oldest is 17.  I bet no one can beat having a grandchild this old.

I am in a season of my life of great fun and joy. The one great reality I have learned above all else is "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the bible tell me so."
