Teresa's Story

Life My Spouse Bruce and I met in 1976 at a popular watering hole. We were introduced by a mutual friend, married in 1985 and live in Gresham on a lovely 5-acre spread. My Pets We have two kitties; a six-month-old, male tuxedo cat named Cisco, and an adorable 12 week-old,light grey female kitten named Silvia. Both were rescue kittens. Grant is 21 and Scott is 19. Grant is transferring to OSU from MHCC winter term 2010. His goal is to complete his education at Pacific University in their Physical Therapy program. He is a natural athlete; played water polo for Barlow, swam on their swimteam, and was on Barlow's snowboard team. He graduated from Barlow in 2006. Five years ago (Junior year at Barlow), he began a modeling career, having won some awards in a competition in NY. He is a regular in Fred Meyer ads and has done some editorial work for several magazines. Nike and Columbia use him as well. He has walked two years in a row during Portland's Fashion Week. Someday, he would like to go to Milan and Tokyo. We are very proud of Grant! Scott graduated from Barlow in 2008 and is a second year student at MHCC. Scott hasn't decided what he wants to do - yet. He is 6 feet 2 inches tall, a smart kid, and very funny! With his height, you would think he would have been an athlete. But Scott was never one for organized sports. Although, he did play YMCA indoor ...Expand for more
soccer and Gresham Youth, fall outdoor soccer as a kid. He did attempt wrestling at Gordon Russell Middle School, but broke his thumb the first week of practice. He and his girfriend Ashley have been together since 8th grade! Scott and his father share a love for cars, engines and gadgets. They have restored several old Ford tractors that have been left in fields to rot. We kept one and Scott used it to build a motocross track in our field. Every now and then, he levels the field and reconfigures the track. The last day of fifth grade, we let him drive one of the tractors to school, the highlight of his year! Bruce, Grant and Scott also have a love for motocross. Scott and Grant have begun to race; the source for many a gray hair! Especially since all three of them have been injured. Scott has been to Spain - twice - with our fiend and neighbor, Beau Bamburg, who is a professional freestyle motorcycle rider. He does a lot of shows in Spain and he invites Scott to go along to keep him company! My Job I have been in education for 23 years and just started a new job (10/07) at Menlo Park Elementary School, in the David Douglas School District, working with special needs kids. Prioir to that, I taught math for six years at MHCC. Quite a switch, but I'm really enjoying the change. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up!
