Mary Ann's Story
Mary Ann is from Tacoma, Washington. My schools include Stewart Junior High and Lincoln High School.
I survived a terrible car wreck in 1966 when I was thrown 50 feet to the side of the freeway. Angel on my shoulder.
I worked for Boeing 37 years, retiring in 2004. I was a computing systems analyst and enjoyed my analytical job immensely, as well as the Manufacturing Engineers I supported with my computing system.
I've lived in east Renton since 1968, finally building our dream house in 1993. Our acre keeps us really busy and I enjoy feeding the birds and many pairs of humming birds year round.

I shaved my head when the first clump of hair fell out after starting chemo. Thirty treatments of radiation and off to Maui in 2015 for some much needed rest. I am in remission and so lucky to be here.
I love the Seahawks and I'm truly the 12th fan. I take line dance classes (six years) and plan to return in a few weeks after my complete knee replacement heals in a couple of weeks. Same for my bowling. I'm in two leagues and the seniors are all so much fun. These activities are great exercise and the dancing is good for the memory.
I'm looking forward to our next reunion (missed our 50th). Are we having a 55th next year, does anyone know? Why isn't our 1962 year book available? I recognize so many names and can put faces to some but not all.
