Martha Lyn's Story

Spring of 2010-Update. Met a great guy on E-Harmony, somewhat more than a year ago. He started right in talking about us opening a school for gifted and talented kids. Took me a year to warm up to the idea, but --Cave Creek Academy opens in August! SEND YOUR GRANDKIDS! We are enrolling NOW for fall. Lots of work, but SOOooo much more fun than retirement--and I can still write, draw, and do the voiceovers. Am considering startup of our own internet TV channel. I love the new technology, even if I do need a patient tutor from the younger set! My classmates at Arcadia will remember me in Spanish Club, Fencing, trampoline, Annual staff, and playing tennis and basketball. At Scottsdale, where I graduated in '64, they won't remember the academic honors but may recall my role as Lady Macbeth in Mr Coates theatre arts class, can't forget the scream that they heard clear out on the football practice field when I lopped off the end of my thumb during the Senior class play. I have passed my own love of Shakespeare and the stage on to my sons. I have the, I believe singular, distinction of being the only mother in America whose teenaged son actually requested that she make an ass of him in front of the entire student body of his high school--He played Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream. He stole the show. I made the Ass's head for him, and he could wink and move the mouth and ears. I decided I'd try a new career in Voiceover after 35 years of teaching as a performing art. I can do it at home in the middle of the night if I choose, and pretty much take off whenever I want. It's a highly portable sort of job, too much fun to be called work. As a writer and a visual artist I have a nee...Expand for more
d as well as a desire to get out into the field for research and photography to inform the other things I do. Studied in Mexico, Spain, at ASU (class of 1969), grad work at Uof A, NAU, ASU, Uof Phx, and Loma Linda....enough hours for a couple of Masters but no degree beyond the BA...just couldn't decide in a world of wonders what to do with myself when I grew up, and am not much for the party line preached on campus. I still tend to annoy my instructors, supervisors and employers (unlike the days when I was a teachers' pet at Tavan Elementary School.) Married at 31, had 4 kids in short order to add to the 5 stepkids. Buried two, one from each group. Everybody grown and flown now. Stepkids have provided me with 20 grandkids and 10 great grandkids, so far. Widowed in 2006. Darn shame. Great guy in many ways. Sure miss him. Still, it's getting to be kind of fun figuring out who I am now, after 30 years of dedicating myself to other people's priorities and needs. Taught everything from preschool to prison, mainly elem, gifted, 25 yrs on the Apache res, 9 on the Navajo, 10 in community college overlapped, as did 9 with county and tribal health agencies. Down from the mountains to the valley of the sun, for the time being, and eager to reconnect with familiar names and faces. 2008 summer; I am editing for 2nd editions two books I wrote which are now out of print, working on a novel and trying to get a kids' book published, while attempting to begin a whole new career as a Voice artist. Also working on projects with a number of Christian cartoons I've done. Are any of my classmates experts now? (Careful! an EX is a has-been and a SPURT is a drip under pressure!) Talk to me!
