Jean Miller:  

Life While living in Hobbs, I attended First Baptist Church,& sang in the choir. Later on, I started going to Rock Chapel Baptist Church. I was a Brownie, a Girl Scout, & I belonged to the Rainbow organization. I loved tap & ballet, & occasionally taught the class the tap lesson for the week. I sang with the church at the radio station,& sang weekly on stage at Air Base City. My next door neighbor, Sandra Taylor was my friend that got me into the singing at Air Base City. I adored her! She played an accordion, & I just had to learn to play, but not quite as good as she could play. She had a pony tail .. I had to have a pony tail. Ha/ha My first husband was in the Marines, stationed at Camp Pendleton, Ca., and that is how I ended up in California. I am re-married, been married 28 years and have three grown children, two boys, one girl. I have eight grandchildren, plus five from my husbands side. I did get my GED, & some college credits & certificates, after my first marriage ended. I briefly worked for the Hobbs Police Dept., but returned to California. I worked for a company for about 20 yrs. making small magnetic parts. I worked in the chemical part of the company. That job ended because the company shut down. I then went to work for the Orange County Treasurer/Tax Collector ... yep, I was what people referred to as "Your That Person". Ha/Ha I retired from the Treasure Tax Collector's Office in Santa Ana, Ca. My oldest son works for a sheet metal co. in Missouri & my 2nd son retired from USMC after about 21 + years & now teaches on base what he did while in the service(MP). My daughter was also in the Marines, then went into the Army Reserve & served time in Iraq. From the stories she tells, she is lucky to be here & alive. I get into quite a few slot tournaments, and yes ... I have won. That is probably why I keep getting into them. I did win a 2008 Ford Escape SUV Hybrid. The casino paid taxes & fees. I had to claim it at the end of the year, but out the door...Expand for more
