Susan's Story
Life
I have always, in my heart, been an Abingtonian, even if I didn't graduate with the Class of 1959. Having spent from second to tenth grade in the Abington school system, I moved with my family to Los Angeles in 1957, where I graduated from Westlake School for Girls, a big change from AHS!
Then I became a true Westlake Girl and have strong ties to my fellow classmates there.
I now live in Northern California with my husband where we have retired after many years in law enforcement and corporate security. That's right - I spent 15 years in law enforcement in Southern CA and my husband spent 35 years in it.
Somewhere in those years, I managed to get a Bachelors and Masters in management at the University of Redlands in CA and the University of Virginia.
We have four children, ...Expand for more
three boys and a girl, between us, most of whom live in the Pacific and Asia. Our daughter recently married in Sumatra, Indonesia, where she has been a professor of English at a university. One son is a tennis pro, owns a tennis school and is the Davis Cup coach for the Pacific Oceania team. He lives in Saipan with his family and our two grandchildren. One son lives in Sacramento and one ships with the Merchant Marine. You can imagine, we spend a great deal of time travelling all over the world!
We are avid fly fishers and also travel to great fishing destinations like Montana and New Zealand most recently.
I have had wonderful contacts through Classmates.com with fellow classmates who remember me. I also remember those days in all my schools very warmly and welcome all contacts.
