Kelly's Story
Life
I've been a beach girl my whole life.
So as soon as I graduated I went to college in the tropical paradise state of Florida! I went to the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne and got a degree in Computer Science. The campus was 10 minutes from the beach and the ratio was 10 guys to every girl! College was fun. Since I needed a job immediately after graduation, I worked for a friend's father's company in Alexandria Virginia.
But I missed Florida terribly and moved back after only 1 year to work for Gould
in Ft Lauderdale Florida. I'd also met a great guy at my fraternity's (I was a little sister) alumni party. I continued to date him for 7 years and we were married on April 29, 1995. But it didn't work out, he could only find work at the other end of the state in Jacksonville, and we divorced soon after. Gould became
Encore and then was bought out by Sun Microsystems. They then moved half of us to the Denver Colorado area, which is where I live now. I have a lovely house with a beautiful mountain view, an adorable pet kitty and a side photography business. This state is phenomenal for photography and Utah's can...Expand for more
yonlands and Yellowstone aren't too far away either. Check out my website at kellylyonphotography.
I have lots of friends here and still play in leagues for softball, volleyball and golf too.
I have gotten to take some of my dream trips to Australia, Paris, Venice, Rome, Egypt, the Greek Islands, the Amazon, China and even an African safari! Life is good! Carpe diem!
I just recently married again! A wonderful man named Steve Duke (class of '78 alumni) whom I remet during a short visit back to Kansas City. He and his 2 sons now live in Colorado with me.
