Gail's Story
It's hard to believe so many years have passed, and what a ride!!
After GHS I attended New Mexico State receiving a B.S. in Agronomy. After NMSU worked with Elanco Chemical Company for a short time and returned to Las Cruces to marry my first husband. Our son Andrew was born there.
In 1986 we packed up and moved to England (hubby was English) and lived there for 2 years. Mary was born there. Left England (and hubby) and returned to the US. What a wonderful adventure over there, but I was glad to get back home.
Long story short, I accepted a job with USDA/ Farm Service Agency 19 years ago, and am still working there. I transferred to Stillwater, OK. It's home to Oklahoma State University, and OKC and Tulsa are close. We've got the small town atmosphere with the benefits of a larger city nearby.
Both kids are in college. Mary attends Willamette U. in Salem, OR ...Expand for more
and Andrew graduates from Lewis and Clark in Portland, OR soon (about time). It's a long way from home, but they love it there. Since their dad lives in England they travel between the US and UK; they are truly half and haf.
I remarried about 4 years ago. Took me 'til I was in my 40's, but he was worth the wait. He's from St. Louis originally so he's (and consequently me too) a HUGE St. Louis Cardinals fan.
Have an Airedale named Fargo, which is almost like having another kid at home. Good thing we love her, or we'd have to kill her; she's a mess.
Interests? Pretty eclectic, but mainly quilting, yoga and golf right now. I'm definity not a great, or even good, golfer; but it sure is fun especially on a beautiful day when you have at least a few good shots.
The 40's were great, and am looking forward to the 50's, if the old body doesn't start falling apart.
