n Senior High 1962-1965 - attended Vallejo Junior College from Sep 65 to Jan 66. Was in Choir, and in sports.
College
Attended Clatsop Community College in Astoria, OR, 1974 - 1976. Really my thoughts about college was being able to get the degree to go into a job. But I was really in a job already as a mother and wife. At the time I was taking care of my then husband, my three children and the house. It proved interesting, but I was proud of myself when I walked down the isle for graduation.
Military
Joined the Army in 1966. Was stationed at Ft McClellan in Alabama for basic (Company C/3rd Platoon )and school. Then went to Ft Myer, Virginia and worked in the Comptrollers Office from June 1966 - December 1968. At that time in 1966 my barracks were on one side of Arlington National Cemetary and I worked on the other side. Then I was in Hawaii in 1968 at Ft Shafter for several months then got out. Joined the Army Reserves in 1977 and finished my 20 years in December 1995. In October 2006 I retired from the military and now getting my pension.
