Barbara's Story
I am retired after serving 30 years as a building administrative assistant with the Puyallup School District. Prior to working for the Puyallup School District, I worked for 15 years in the Home and Family Life departments at Bates Vocational and Clover Park Tech Voc as a childbirth instructor. My husband since 1969, Larry, and I have two awesome sons, one wonderful daughter-in-law and two adorable grandchildren. Since I raised two sons and my husband coached both track, football and soccer I am quite sportsminded and enjoy the Seahawks, Sounders and Mariners. I played on a womens soccer team for 12 years...mainly for the beer and pizza afterwards:-)
I enjoy traveling; have spent 3 weeks in Sweden, 6 weeks one summer in St Thomas (I was crowned "Limbo Queen" at Balongo Bay!), and since my youngest son works for a company hired by national parks I have visited Yosemite 18 times and the Grand Canyon 16 times because he ...Expand for more
and his family have resided in those parks. He recently accepted a job at the Kennedy Space Center so Larry and I will now have many opportunities to explore Florida.
My two sons seem to think Larry and I are old enough to need a "Bucket List", so have seen to it that we have had a cage=dive with the sharks, night swim with manta-rays, zip-line through forests in Hawaii and crack climbing in Yosemite experiences. I'm a little leary about their wanting me to try "hang-gliding", but who knows! I did do a 17 mile bike ride going up the Going-to-the-Sun Highway in Glacier Park starting at midnight during a full moon in August ... the scary part was coming down that windy road in the dark, but what a rush!!!
My mornings are spent at the YMCA as I am convinced exercise is the fountain of youth! My husband is a community activist and is involved in numerous projects; I keep busy actively supporting him with these endeavors.
