Katie's Story

Wow, where do I begin..In the yearbook it stated I was either going to go to Barbizon school of modeling (LOL) or Stewardess. I NEVER made it Barbizon (scam school), but DID Model ( Had a very long on and off career, and owned an KR MODELS/ International Fashion and Talent Agency at the end of my career) and DID get hired with Braniff Airlines. I dropped out of training with the airlines to pursue the modeling, even though it was rocky, and off and on, but I never regretted following the path I did. ESPECIALLY since Braniff Airlines went under in 1982. There are some folks out there that think they know all about me, but you’d be surprised to know how much of my life was kept private. It’s been a wonderful adventure, even through all the hurt, pain, tears, and let downs of life. I got married (the first time), divorced, and met my husband as a young Mother of 3 young daughters. I am STILL married to this wonderful man, and have 4 Grandchildren, 1 greatgrandson, and a 2nd great grandbaby on the way. I couldn't be happier!. I AM on FB under Kat Ryan, and have reconnected with many of our class mates. I am not on either classmates/fb to flirt or make waves. I am here to say hello..reconnect in a positive way, and it has been truly joyful to see the many sides and paths, LIFE..has taken each of us on a curved and varied path.. My experiences are unique, to me and mine. All of us are either silver or white haired by now, but I am going to work hard at taking care of my body (and hair LOL) for as long as possible. Right now, we are living in RB. But probably going to move back to Hawaii, again. The husband surfs. We love THE BEACH, its interes...Expand for more
ting and serene, and I love the sound of the sea. It's a place of peace and storms, but we adore the sights and smells of it all!. My husband has a few more years until retirement, and then we are traveling more often.. tropics, most likely. Life is a journey of a thousand and one roads, and I intend to take em' all LOL..I truly hope and pray YOU are finding your very own adventures. NEVER stop looking at ways to change, to grow, to smile. Laughter and joy!.. Love and Tears.. it's all a part of the package. I wish nothing but the best for all of you!. EVEN the people who tormented me in Middle and High School, or the ones who professed their friendship and sisterhood who turned out to be nasty women with an agenda....I hope you grew up and understand what loyalty means. After all, I was a shy, skinny girl, who looked 12, and couldn't help it. I don't hold any grudges, but there are some people out there (from my past), who still behave the same way, and they are still mean girls. To those nasty people? I hope you find some peace and joy. That is all I will say on this subject. YES!, I am sort of.. retired!.. I know, kinda early to retire, but I am not down for the count. I write, draw, paint, sing, dance ballet, no longer, but hike, swim, and bike (Oh, and I wake up happy!).. when the knees aren't acting up, and I enjoy life! every single day!..Catch me up on your life..If you remember who I am LOL..I appreciate any prayers as I have been dealing with skin cancers. All those beach days wreck the cells, but so far? Nothing bad. Just get cut on a lot. My nose has gotten the worst of it. Repairs next year!. Feb 11th. Anyway!!! Hugs to ALL
