Karon Mangum:  

Life I married my high school sweethart, John Mangum (WCHS '89) on June 22, 1996 at Century Memorial Chapel at Naper Settlement in downtown Naperville, and moved to Carol Stream. We've been married ever since. No kids yet as of December 2007, but we are getting ready to start in the next year or so. We have 2 Jack Russell puppies, Khloe & Khleo. Not much has changed about me since HS. I went to COD for about 2 years, no degree-since I got married instead. Worked at Wal-Mart in Glen Ellyn as a Stationary Dept Mgr from '93-96. I then went to work for The Limited in Woodfield Mall as a Co-Sales Manager for about a year. In fall of '97 I went to work as a Store Mgr for Factory Card Outlet in Villa Park. That didn't last but a year (I couldn't take the retail hours anymore), when I got a job with Boise Cascade Corporation in Itasca, which has since changed names 3 times...Boise Office Solutions, then to just Boise, and finally to OfficeMax after aquiring OfficeMax in Dec 2004. I am Business Relationship Manager (sales rep) for the contract (business to business-not the retail side) division. I have been with OfficeMax/Boise for almost 10 years now. I am the Chicagoland sales rep for such accounts as McDonald's, Archdiocese of Chicago, Arcelor Mittal Steel, Old 2nd Bank, Eby Brown, Pepper Construction, Hewitt Assoc, Rotary Intl, McCain Foods, and Trinity Intl Univ to name a few. John has been a mechanic since we got married,...Expand for more
