Kathleen "kathy"'s Story
So who attended the last reunion? I had planned to come but a friend was scheduled for some medical tests and I offered to assist her during her recovery, which all happened at the same time. Oh well, our 50th isn't so far off. Yikes!
I have lived in Chicago the past 14 years and prior to that spent 2 years in Butler, PA, and 22 years in Denver, CO. In Denver I worked for Handy Dan Home Improvement Center as store manager and had Ken Orshan a class mate of ours as my assistant manager. When Handy Dan sold to Wickes and closed the stores I went to work for Coast to Coast Hardware's corporate office as their Customer Relations Manager which led to a promotion as small appliance and housewares buyer. Two mergers and two moves later my husband and 2 dogs and 2 cats found oursellves in Palatine, IL.
I've had the great good fortune to have traveled the world, seeing 69 different countries. Jim and I have a travel agency and he is awesome at " Making Dreams ...Expand for more
Come True". The photo you see of me and the European Eagle Owl was taken in Sligo, Ireland.
I am currently out of work and looking, although I must say the free time I have between job hunting is great and allows me time to do some oil painting and volunteering within our community. I am an active volunteer with the Community Emergency Response Team and Animal Response Team, both of which fall under the infamous FEMA umbrella. Our community has great leadership and an awareness for being prepared and helping ourselves and others if a need arises. I also spend time cooking lunch at least once a month if not more often for a homeless shelter here, Journeys from PADS to HOPE.
My mom is alive and kicking at 99 years but moved from Akron to Cambridge , Ohio and now New Concord where she is in a nursing home, necessitated by a broken hip. My brother Bob and our older brother and sister Bill and Edna live near her.
Life is good and full.
