I went to UCR for a year and hated the negative atmosphere of the Universities. So I went to RCC and got an AA degree in biology. I got married the first time to an alcoholic. We had a boat and I learned to water ski. I got the Boxer dog named Mr. Spike Frazier when we divorced after 2 years. Spike was a great listener and he let me hug on him all I wanted.
I moved to Denver in 1976 with my second alcoholic husband. I got the 2 sons when we divorced after 13 years. They were my reason for living and my joy. My parents remained my favorite people on planet earth. And my girlfriends kept me focused. It took 17 more years to find Von on e-Harmony and we have been married 2 years. He is great...and not alcoholic. I think we will last forever.

It was great seeing some of you at the reunion in the Rockies in 2008. I have only good memories of school with all of you. We sure laughed a lot.
Do you remember when Mr. Bell & Mr. Beatty got in a fight on the way to school? They car pooled and talked politics. And I loved Howie Holcomb for our pottery class. He sure walked like he was in a hurry all of the time.
And wasn't it John Moberg who put some fake blood on his forehead and scared some girl?
Going back even farther, did you play jacks on the Sunnymead Elementary sidewalks? Or shoot marbles? Or are you one of the boys that climbed the back playground fence and got spanked in front of the class? Are you the one that got the racoon hat as a prize in Mrs. Lee's 1's grade class?
We could not have had a better place to grow up!
