Kaye's Story
Life
after high school, I worked then went to the U of M for a while, partied out, worked some more, went to control data institute, started working with computers, got married, had 2 daughters (real sweethearts), got divorced, worked some more (computer programming), got married again, had another daughter, got divorced again. I am still doing programming (for Lawson software, work in downtown St Paul). I really like my job, it's like solving puzzles all day. I have a lake lot up north, and plan to build my retirement home up there - just a couple of more years. but I will probably still work, just do it by tele-comuting - aren't computers wonderful.
