Kathryn Poyner:  

Well, let's see...my story, or my life seems a little dull comparitively to most of you. I worked for the Arvin school district for a couple of years after high school as an aid. I married at the age of 20 and moved to Tulare County, Lindsay to be exact. 40 years later I am still in Lindsay, but am single and living with my daughter and her family. I've worked in my current position as receptionist/clerk for LoBue Bros. Packing for 20 years and love it. I really enjoy the people. I have two children, Kevin Poyner and Cindy Poyner Montejano. Kevin is living in Paso Robles and working as Supervisory Superintendant of Hot Shot Crew 1 on the Las Padres National Forest. I'm very proud of him and the work that he does. He joined the Forest Service with the plan of being Captain of his own station by the time he was 30 and did it by 28. Cindy is a stay at home mom with 4 children, Madison (10), Alexandra or Alex as we call her (7), Derek (4) and Hayden (3). She and her husband Jose (very bravely I thought:-) ) invited me to live with them when my mom passed away in 2010. (I had moved in with mom temporarily? when my husband and I split up in 1998) She was great and we became more like best friends through the years...although she could still make me feel like I was in high school if I was extremely late coming home from a date...even in my 40's :-) I miss her alot. I have 6 grandchildren, as Kevin has two boys, Kenneth (17), Kyle (14), and they are the light of my life. The things I enjoy doing are: reading...will read most anything but like mysteries best, taking pictures...favorite past time is driving up into the Sequoias and taking my camera...spend the whole day taking pics of nature. My daughter keeps asking me just how many pictures of trees and rocks does a person need? Love old barns and bridges as well:-) I like to check out Thrift Stores and the like everywhere I go. You never know what treasure you'll find. I take 1 to 2 trips a year with my sister Betty and Aunt Alice. Just a week to get away and play. This year we are going to The Grand Canyon and then on to Laughlin, Nevada. (I also love the slots :-() I haven't done much traveling out of state...have been to Florida to visit my brother...New York state to visit family, Utah quite often to visit sister Donna, but not much more than that. One of our get away and play trips next year is going to Arkansas. My sister Jackie lives there as well as one o...Expand for more
