Kathy's Story

HEY, NO PICTURES FROM OWEGO CLASSMATES, FEW NOTES? Did you all forget me? Miss you! Life What's new in Owego? I left in 1983, lived in San Jose, CA for 10 years and now live in Washougal, WA. Life is good other than having MS. I miss hearing about the "happenings" in Owego now that my bother and sister nolonger live in the area. I'd like to hear from classmates ... send pictures. Surprise, I was a Business Planner and an IBM Manager until leaving the company when my husband took early retirement. My husband, Tom Riner and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on 12/27/10! We are still enjoying life together. It took me three tries (Beers and Short didn't last) but Riner has brought me so much happiness! My son, Roger (AKA Hoopie up to age 9) will be 35 in April! Thank God, he is a responsible, caring person. He graduated from San Jose, CA high school in 1995, took classes at Clark College, Vancouver, WA and is a 4th degree Knight's of Columbus. He found the love of his life in 1995 but they never married. Roger owns his own home and really enjoys helping people less fortunate. My daughter, Tammy passed away in 1985 while...Expand for more
a patient at a San Jose, CA hospital. She had been admitted for depression. Her cause of death was listed as undetermined. Tammy's depression was a result of her feeling responsible for me divorcing Roger Short Sr. and for our move to California. She blamed herself because she finally told the courts the truth concerning the 8 years of sexual abuse by Roger Short Sr. Roger admitted his guilt and avoided jaill time with a plea bargain. Tammy said if she had kept the "secret" our family would not have broken up and we would not have needed to leave Owego. Tammy is now free from painful memories and I believe she is in a better place. Her 6th grade teacher, Connie Laewence told the class no one should be touching you sexually and to report it if it is happening to you. I will forever be thankful for her message to the class that ended Tammy's abuse. Tammy missed her friends and classmates in Owego. She greatly missed her best friend, Melissa Masters. Please send emails, pictures and local news! I do miss my friends and many hangouts in Owego. I do not miss the cold winters and summer humidity! Hope to hear from you soon! Kathy
