Bonnie's Story
Life
Hi all. I write this from sunny California where I have been "at home" since 1986. I am married 11 years (second time around) and I have two of my own kids, Chris 30 and Cheryl 26 as well as four step-kids, I sometimes go home to see my family but those Chicago summers always did me in. I am a registered nurse in psychiatry and have been since 1978. My husband is from England and we go there whenever we can. Love to hear from you all and who's doing the next reunion...Arlene?...Helen? By the way just when did Richards get a swimming pool? My kids think the Bow Wow Bulletin is a pretty "lame" name for a newspaper. Anyone know where Norman Maxwell is?
Workplace

he nursing exams there in Manhattan. They were grueling and took 2 days but I passed! I began working at St. Vincent's hospital in White Plains N.Y. while I resummed school to go for the degree. St. Vincent's in White Plains is the psychiatric branch of the same St. Vincent's in Manhattan where many of the 9/11 victims were treated. I worked there for 6 years and completed my BSN in 1984. Many years, states and children later I resumed psychiatric nursing at Charter Hospital in Thousand Oaks California. I am currently a nursing manager at a senior retirement community in Thousand Oaks where I am glad for the calm and the decent hours. My psych trainig was valuable in raising my kids and I guess they like it too as they are both going to college for psychology related fields.
