Donna's Story
Life
As a student at Ector I started in 7th grade and had attended Zavala. I lived on Fall St. just behind the athletic field. My best friend was Chyrel Peevy and she lived in Radio City Trailer Park. We were always together and set our schedules so we often had the same classes. We were in Eciatas and worked on the annual staff as co-editors of the Favorites section for the 63-64 Facula. Our group included the others from Eciatas and friends from Zavala and Chyrel's friends from her elementary school. Odessa was an oil field town and there were always new students. My father worked as a construcion foreman and was with the same company (B&B Construction on Murphy) for over 30 years. We family moved to Odessa in 1947. I left permantly in 1968 when I married Paul, who is originally from Albuquerque.
For the past 32 years we have lived in Orange Co. My job for 19 years was working as a placement counselor for a employment agency. Miy niche is placing people in the accounting office of automotive dealerships. I love the work. In October the agency closed and I have since set up my own agency. It is A-1 Personnel Services. We are able to keep the clients because our previous agency closed. Dealerships have high turn over and so we always have openings. Finding qualified applicants is the hard part.

We have two daughters. Both are married with children. We have 5 grandchildren (see their pictures on my sight) Our older daughter lives in Carrollton, TX and she and her husband have two daughters. One is 14 and the other will be five in January, 2006. Our younger daughter lives in Ramona, CA near San Diego. Her husband recentlly got a job in Anaheim and are movig to Placentia. We live in Yorbal Linda, which means they will be just 4 miles from us. They have a daughter six. Their boys are three and 14 months. The best thing I do is being Grammy.
After high school I attended Odessa College for a semester. Here in Orange Co. I have attended Santa Ana College and have my AA from there. I have taken classes at Fullerton College. Since I always loved History (thank you Mr. Turlo) I took California History from an aging hippy that made it so fun.
My husband Paul after attending UNM for his BS in electrical engineering recieved his Masters from Stanford. He has worked in Anaheim first for Rockwell and now for Boeing for the last 32 years. He has an e-bay store where he sells mineral specimens to people all over the world. We have lived in Yorba Linda since 1982. It is a bedroom community located in the northeastern corner of Orange County, home of Disneyland.
I still have a strong feeling of Texas pride. I will forever be grateful to have grown up where and when I did.
