Karin's Story

After graduation I moved to Southern California and worked as a bookkeeper at a bank and modeled part time. In 1961 I met my husband, Harry, and got married 4 month later. We had 2 sons. Mark, our oldest, lives in Texas with his family and had two boys and two girls. The oldest just graduated from Long Beach State with a degree in Economics. The youngest is a girl 3 1/2 years old. And yes, we are still married and happy for over 48 years. Our other son, Thomas, died in 2008 from Lou Gergig (ALS). This was one of the hardest things we have ever had to face. We had wonderful moments with him and he was so brave and never complained. He was an inspiration to others. We sure miss him a lot. I was a stay at home mom and enjoyed all kinds of crafts and being involved with all my boys activities. I was active in Little League, Cub Scouts, and PTA. I actually got the Honorary PTA Award. I also was very active in our church with choir, building programs, and always seem to be the treasurer. I also had open house for relatives and kid's friends since we had a pool and that enticed them to spend time here. Needles to say I also spent many ho...Expand for more
urs there. In 1973 I decided to go to college and get my degree in accounting. Being busy with family, church, and school (I did take a few quarters off) it took me until 1980 to graduate. I now had mydegree but my husband preferred me to stay home which I had no problem with. Now who in their right mind really wants to work? After living in our house for 43 years we decided to sell and buy a house in a retirement community which we did the beginning of 2007. Now if you are a golfer or want to really retire, this is the place to live. We sure like it. I even exercise every day when we are home in the fitness center. I am now up t 4 miles a day. Plus you can't complain about 360 days of sunshine. We have traveled quite a bit in the last few years throughout the United States and Europe. We take short trips, long trips, or just trips. We love to be on the road. We were at the 50 year reunion and had a wonderful time seeing all the "kids" and talking over old times. We sure missed all of you who were not there. Sure hope to see you at the next one. If by chance you are ever in my area please feel free to stop by. God Bless you all.
