Helen's Story

Life Hello to All, It has been very long time since I spoke to any of you. I married William Wiley my senior year of 1969, and was no longer Helen Purcell. We had one daughter name Elaine Wiley who is now 35yrs old and she gave us a beautiful granddaughter which I received the honor of naming, Emily. Even thought William and I did not stay married after many years we became friends and welcomed and shared this beautiful granddaughter. My second husband came from McKnight Mill Road area and granduated from Page High. After one great son and several years of marriage I realized I had made mistake and left Keebler Cookie & Cracker company where I held the show case Sales territory and headed to Wilmington NC. It was there that I met my current husband Joe Walls and we have been married for past 23yrs. Joe was in Air Force as recurtier in Wilmington NC when we met and got married. Joe managed to stay on Eastern Seaboard in his Military career so we did not have to make any overseas tours.

ch would put me much closer to Greensboro where I could help my sister care for them. Joe, my husband took retirement from the Air Force and off to Charlotte we went. We bought our home in Mt.Holly outside Charlotte where my 26 year old son still lives, and my daughter Elaine lives 1\4 mile up the street from us. After living there for 11yrs Joe and I got ressless and felt a need for travel and change in our lives. Joe applied for and was offered job with Foreign Service and we excepted. After spending over year in Washington DC going to school and taking classes we were given Beijing China as our first two year tour. It was awesome. Now we are in Almaty Kazakhstan for two years. We are so privledged to have this opportunity and experiences. We get an R&R on 2year assigments and from here we can go to Rome after 6 mos. at post. We do look forward to that. We have no childern together only a dog we purchased in Beijing China name Dong Joia who is a real joy and entertainment to us. Please feel free to come visit us no matter where we are in the world or contact me. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Helen Purcell Walls
