Grace's Story

Life After graduation married a career navy man and spent the next 24 yrs in San Diego, Ca, while he made cruises overseas. Raised 5 sons and 1 daughter. Now the proud gma of 11 grandchildren. On Jan 15, 2007 added a great granddaughter. Her name is Stacy Rae.She is real cute. Looks like her Mommy. My one son married a woman with 2 children. Her daughter has given me a great grandson, Anthony and great granddaughter, Amaya. Just received the news that I will have another great grand child due in March. Great Grandchildren are so enjoyable. I now live in Portland, Oregon. We moved here in 1976, when Al retired. Portland gave us the changing seasons without the cold of Minnesota. I have been a widow since Nov. 1979. I have worked as an apartment manager since 1992. Worked for a Management Co until three years ago. I am now an apartment mgr for a fantastic owner. We have spent the past two years renovating the units to make them more appealing and livable. I like doing this type of work. I can pick my hours, and still be active with family and friends. Am able to take off without jeopardizing the job. Held several jobs over the years. Cream of Wheat, Physicians & Hospital Supply Co both in Minneapolis. Then have worked as a 'carhop' sold Avon, TriChem liquid embroidery, ...Expand for more
Sarah Coventry Jewelry, ASSCO Security all in San Diego. In Oregon worked for Burns International Security, Smith Security and Metal Enterprises. (A metal fabrication co.). Of all the jobs like being an apartment manager the best. My hours, a place to live rent free and a great landlord. Workplace Work as an Apartment Manager for a great landlord, Laird Heater. Enjoy the fact I pick my hours, and have a great group of tenants. Able to spend time with family and still do my job. Got into this type of work when I was with Inter-west Properties and found that I love it. Love to hear from any IWP Employee. Great People. On the 3rd of December added a Great Grandson to our family. His name is Cameron Robert Rode. A big boy at 9 lbs 6 ozs, 21 3/4 inches long. He makes #5. That is the little man I am holding in my picture. Have a brand new great granddaughter born on the 26th of July. She is a little doll. Only 6'9" and very petite. On August 1, 2010 I finally retired. Health prevented me from being able to do all the work being an apartment mgr required so now living the life of leasure. Nice not being bothered at 0300 by some tenant who is having a problem with another tenant and expects me to solve their problem. I am now a renter and someone else has to fix their problems.
