Jennie's Story
Life
I was dating my husband, Steve Cole, during my senior year. I met him the summer of '72. I thought he was a Lakewood boy but soon found out that he had only moved to Lakewood for his Junior and Senior year of high school. I actually went to school with his younger brother Jeff Cole. They were only a year apart but I did not remember Steve. I am so glad that we did not meet at Fleming Jr. High. I was tall and skinny and Steve was short and plump. We married in 1974. We had our first child, Jeramy, in February of 1975. We had our daughter, Karah, in 1979. During that time I worked as a data entry operator and also took modern jazz at a dance studio. We lived in Huntington Beach for the first ten years of our marriage. I went to Goldenwest College when my daughter was a pre-schooler. Soon after that we moved back to Harbor City and bought the house I grew up in. It is right across the street from Harbor City Elementary. We are working on our third addition. Steve is a contractor. I was recently laid off from ADP. I worked there for 23 years and was technical support for the payroll client service department. After we moved back to Harbor City my husband and I got into running. I have ran around 50 marathons. True marathons are 26.2 miles. I qualifed for Boston and ran that in 1996. I also ran the New York City marathon. I run L.A. Marathon practi...Expand for more
cally every year. I had an excellent coach during the 90's who trained me. My personal best in a marathon was a 3:02. That is a 6:58 per mile pace. You may see me running on P.C.H. or the drives up in Palos Verdes with my Golden Retriever. I now have 3 grandaughters. Two were born in 1998 and one in 2004. I am a CPP, Certified Payroll Professional. I am now doing accounting, payroll and tax filing for my husbands Masonry business. I now actually enjoy not working for a big corporation. We enjoy skiing, offroading, camping, running, boating and watching NASCAR in our spare time. We have spots on the infield at the California Speedway with our bestfriend for the races. Steve and I also sing at our church in Torrance. FYI my then photo is actually a current photo of myself, my sister, Vickie Olson and the rest of our sisters. Over the last few years I spun rifle with the Kingsmen Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps. I was part of the Kingsmen in my teens. We performed at the Rose Bowl last summer(2007) in exhibition for the DCI World Championships. We also performed for the NAMM show at the Anaheim Convention Center 2007 and 2008. We also just performed at Disneyland. I feel like a kid again. Look us up on Youtube under Kingsmen, Kingsmen Alumni or KAC. I now have 4 grandchildren ranging from 2 year old, Jack, to 10 year old, Ilyana. That is it for now....
