Linda's Story

I graduated from Savanna in 1965 and started my first real job at Disneyland. I loved working there and meeting people from all over the world. It was a fun place to work for a single girl. I made a lot of friends and was very fortunate to meet my wonderful husband there in 1967. Ken worked in New Orleans Square at the Silver Shop. We were married six months later and have now been married 44 years. He joined the Air Force after we were married, spent 7 years as an enlisted troop, was accepted into the Bootstrap commission program in the AF and finished his last year of college. He became an officer in the AF after graduating from the University of Arkansas and retired in 1990 after 23 years. While Ken was in the Air Force, we traveled all over the country and spent three years living in Europe courtesy of the Military. We spent as much time as possible visiting England, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and Belgium. We have a daughter and a son who were born when we were stationed in Wyoming. They traveled with us when we went on excursions to other countries during school summer vacation. It was such a great experience for all four of us. Since I have always loved world history, it was awesome...Expand for more
to see some of the places that I had only read about in school. After Ken retired from the Air Force, he was offered a job at a private college in Alabama. One of the benefits included free tuition for employees family members. So I went back to college, finished my degree, and worked for the Federal Government. Both of our children also graduated from Huntingdon College. Our children are adults now and both of them are incredible people of whom we are very proud. We visit Southern California often as we still have family there, but we don't miss the traffic and the cost of living. I went to a class reunion mixer with my sister-in-law, Su Garrett, who graduated from Savanna in 1971. We had a lot of fun and learned that there is a big reunion for all classes that is being planned by the Savanna school administration to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Savanna. It is scheduled for the summer of 2012 and heard that the school is asking for email addresses of all alumni in order to contact them and pass along the information. I will be there with Su, and a couple of other friends who graduated from Savanna. I hope to see some members of the class of 1965 next year at the 50th anniversary of Savanna.
