Barbara's Story

October, 2022 Update I moved to Fort Worth, Texas after 19 years in Colorado. Quite a change for me? Now I live about 15 minutes from my older sister, Connie (Johnson) Hurn from the Class of '62. It's really nice to be close to her especially since it's been a half century since we lived close to each other! I'm living in a gated Senior community. and feeling like I am starting over again. And I know it will take a while for this to really feel like home to me. I am completing a couple of programs this week that I have been taking courses through over the past 2 years. I am now a licensed teacher for the Art of Feminine Presence and Art of Masculine Presence (email me if you want to know what that is :)! I also received my certification as a Life Coach and will be launching my Coaching program very soon. This is something I have been working towards for the past 12 years! Very exciting! I really want to help women going through the Empty Nest...the kids are leaving home and now the mom feels a bit lost. Having been though that myself and learning many tools to regain my own sense of self and purpose I am confident in my ability to help them find their path again. So if you know anyone in that situation...your own children whose kids have flown the nest and now the mom is struggling, reach out to me for more information. I would love to help them! That's my news for now! Oh yeah, one more thing. Cheryl McBroom, Hope Anstine and myself will begin working on putting together our 60th year Class Reunion soon! If anyone would like to be involved in the planning please reach out to any of us. It takes a Tribe to get a Class Union created! LOL Hugs to all of my Class of '64 classmates! Barbara Went on my first cruise Feb 2008. What a blast! So I posted a picture from one of the formal nights. My neighbor and room mate on the ship won another cruise (for two) and let me be her roomie again! That was also a great trip, San Juan, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Grand Turk and Holland America's private island. I retired at the end of 2012 and have been enjoying every minute of it! Have become involved in a wonderful women's global organization called BraveHeart Women. Just got back from a 15 day trip to New Zealand with about 30 of my BraveHeart Sisters (9 days at the Bay of Plenty) and then 10 of us went on to Tahiti for 2 nights. Farthest I have ever been from home! Before that I had only been to Mexico and Canada which don't count since they are still on the North American continent until I went to Costa Rica by myself about 3 years ago. It is so great to see other countries and experience other cultures. If anyone would like more info about BraveHeart Women please message me, I would be very happy to share what we do! I married Bob Michaluk (class of '63) in 1966 and we have two beautiful daughters. However, we divorced in '85. That year a friend of mine introduced me to someone and we eventually married 10 years later! He was my skydiving instructor. I have about 850 skydives over a 15 year period but hung ...Expand for more
up my rig about 13 years ago for various reasons. I miss it, there are no words to describe the feeling while free falling, it's wonderful! Unfortunately (or actually fortunately ;-), I have to report that I have divorced for a second time. I now live in the Denver, Colorado area where my oldest daughter Adrienne and her husband live. I retired from the VA hospital as a registered Medical Technologist. It took me 20 years to get my degree but I have thoroughly enjoyed my profession since 1984. I love living in Colorado. The mountains are magnificent and the weather is sooo much better than Michigan! Since moving here I have joined the local sailing club and it has been great. Even did a sail in the Florida Keys. I have been decorating cakes as a sideline since I did Bob and Patti Nakoneczny's wedding cake 30+ years ago. (Bob was class of '63). My other love is ballroom dancing. Thanks to Classmates.com I have re-connected with my Jr. and Sr. high best friend Linda Bowers (Petty) and we were able to get together for a visit in Michigan and again in Florida where she and her husband now live. Also Denny Angelow had emailed me. I am sorry to report that he passed away in March of 2002(?) following some surgery. He had such a great spirit and a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed. My children are polar opposites. Adrienne, born in 1970, is my "Yuppie", lives in Denver and is in sales. She is married and has two great step kids which means I am a step-grandma and I love it! They are wonderful kids, my grand-daughter is 11 and my grandson is 13. Marnie was born 1 year and 1 week after Adrienne. She has been an over-the-road trucker and is also a registered nurse. I'm so proud of her. I have one wonderful grandson, Nicollas, who just turned 21 years old February 4th 2014. My grand-kids are the joy of my life. I got to watch our 30th year reunion video while at Linda's. It was great seeing so many people but I kept laughling and saying "I don't recognize anyone" or at least not many!! People would probably say that about me too. I got to attend the 40th year reunion and had a blast. Hope we have another one! I would be happy to hear from any of you, so please email me. November 2016 updates! Currently working part time so that I have travel money :-). Went to Portugal last year with BraveHeart Women. My grandson is now 23! And My step grandkids are 14 and 16. Daughter Adrienne still lives in Denver and Marnie (who likes to go by Mia) is now a traveling nurse. She spent 8 months here in Colorado and my grandson was here for a year. They are now both in Fargo, ND where her next nursing assignment is. I miss them a lot. Just got back from a 10 day trip (2 in Charleston, SC and 8 in Long Beach, NY). Most was with BraveHeart Women for our annual event called RISE. 20 of us went to see Wicked on Broadway and it was fantastic! Also went to the 9/11 Memorial and Museulm, heart wrenching. i was so sad to find out we weren't having a 50the Year Reunion. Had really been looking forward to it.

What do you do for your Birthday when you are self quarantining because you have been exposed to Covid? You fix yourself a breakfast you haven’t had in a long time! Gluten free waffles and bacon with real Maple syrup! Do so
Another Blue Angels picture. I had to crop it so it’s not as clear as I wanted. Before going out to take this I was sitting in my recliner and they came so low right over my place that I could almost see the pilots! Wish I
These people fishing on the next dock over don’t even know they have a big bird behind them!
