Liz's Story
After graduation I followed my sister to Mount SAC but only stayed one year. I then went into the Navy and became a Corpsman. I was stationed at San Diego where I met my future husband Steven. We married in 1972 had our first child and decided that we needed to do something drastic with our lives to make sure we could provide for our family.

We were stationed in Frankfurt Germany during the first Desert Storm. Steven assembled the MASH units on the lawn of the hospital. I worked developing procedures for all the wards so they would be prepared whatever happened. Our children, everyones, started making the beds, answered phones, moved furniture, anything that they were asked to do.

Now we are retired and happy at over 50 years together.
