Kathy's Story
Update: April 2018 - Living in Scottsdale, AZ. I recently retired so that I could have more time available to help my parents - ages 89 & 90. Would love to reconnect with other MVHS Mustang members of the Class of 1969.
Hello, Fellow MVHS Alumni... can it really be 39 years since the Class of 69 graduated?? Lots has changed in my life, and I'm sure the same is true for you. I was rather quiet & shy in HS... not very involved in school activities... kind of a "goody-two-shoes" and not very well known. I had some health issues (Ulcerative Colitis) that kept me out of school for almost a year (2nd semester of freshman year & 1st semester of junior year).
After graduation, my dad was transferred to New Jersey. Culture shock! I went to college there for one year & then we moved back to California... but we settled in the SF Bay area instead of SoCal. Over the next several years, I was married for 5 years and then divorced... no kids. I was working in Silicon Valley in the late 70's and I met my husband, Steve. We got married in 1980 and moved to Scottsdale, AZ. In nearly 29 y...Expand for more
ears of marriage, we have lived in Texas, California, Arizona and Singapore (Asia). In fact, I was living in Singapore in 1989 and was not able to attend our 20 year class reunion.
In 1997, we adopted our daughter from China. She is now 14 years old and in 8th grade. She's a great kid... healthy, cute, smart... and a typical American teenager! At 57, however, I am older than any of the other moms at school!! See the two of us in the photo above taken Christmas 2008.
I have worked at various office jobs. For the past 8 years I have worked in the accounting dept. of a national service center for several upscale major appliances. My brother, Wayne, owned the business until 2 years when he decided he was ready to sell it and take an early retirement! Lucky guy!
I am currently living in Scottsdale, AZ and I hope to reconnect with friends from MVHS.
I would really enjoy going to a 40th class reunion next year... and I would be willing to do whatever I could to help with the organizing of an event... as long as I could do it from Arizona!!
My best wishes to you all,
Kathy
