Denise's Story
I GOT MARRIED RIGHT AFTER H.S.TO GARY SKOUGARD, HE GRADUATED FROM ELDORADO IN 1975 AND WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 31 YRS NOW. WE HAVE 3 KIDS, JASON 30, SHAYNE 29 AND NICOLE 26. WE ALSO HAVE 3 GRANDCHILDREN (2 GIRLS , 1 BOY) AND EXPECTING ANOTHER GRANDSON IN MARCH. GARY & I DIDN'T MOVE TO FAR FROM WHERE WE BOTH GREW UP IN VEGAS. WE BUILT OUR HOME IN 94' AND WE ARE STILL LIVING THERE AND HOPE TO RETIRE IN ABOUT 8YRS OR SO. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING FOR A GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR AS A FACILITY MANAGER, GARY IS WORKING FOR THE SAME CONTRACTOR AS A CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT. I LIKE TO HANG OUT WITH MY FAMILY ON THE WEEKENDS AND TRAVEL TO UTAH AND CALIFORNIA WHEN OUR TIME PERMITS. WE GOT INTO BUILDING STREETRODS A FEW YEARS BACK. GARY WOULD DO ALL THE MECHANICAL AND I WOULD DO THE UPHOLSTERY IN THEM. WE HAVE A 57...Expand for more
CHEVY PICKUP,65 CHEVY PICKUP AND A 30 MODEL A COUPE. IT'S A GAS WHEN WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RUN THEM ON THE RACETRACK OR HAUL THEM TO A CARSHOW.
I GO SHOE SHOPPING WHEN I GET REALLY FRUSTRATED. I HAVE A CLOSET FULL OF SHOES AND SOME OF THEM HAVE NEVER BEEN WORN.
MY FIRST JOB WAS AT TACO BELL ON EASTERN, WHERE I GOT PAID $2.35 OR $3.35 AN HOUR, TO MAKE TACOS & BURITTOS. WHAT I REMEMBER MOST ABOUT IT IS THE WEEK-ENDS WERE ALOT OF FUN TO WORK BECAUSE THE OLDER EMPLOYEES WOULD PULL PRANKS ON THE CUSTOMERS, LIKE GETTING IN THE ICE MACHINE AND POURING KETCHUP ON THEIR ARM OR LEG AND HANGING OUT THE WINDOW PRETENDING TO BE BLEEDING OR THROWING CRICKETS INTO THE FRYERS. I THINK I WAS THE YOUNGEST EMPLOYEE WORKING THERE. I WAS 15 AT THE TIME. IT'S ALSO WHERE I BECAME RE-AQUAINTED WITH MY NOW HUSBAND GARY.
