Mindy's Story
Life
Some of you rememer me and knew me as Mindy Shaw, year of 1978, but my family moved when I was a freshman at Huntington and right after I had made the pom squad. I was not a happy camper moving to Dallas away from all my friends. Eventually I got over it. I married David Howell in 1983 in Texas, which is where we moved in 1975. I now have 2 adult children. Jenny just graduated majoring in Recreational Therapy at Findlay Univ. in Findlay, Ohio. Mike who graduated May 07 and majored in Natural Resources Fisheries and Wildlife Ecology at Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin and married his college sweetheart June, 07. Dave and I were transferred to a suburb outside of Chicago, IL in 1987 and lived in the Chicago area until just recently . A recent promotion moved us back to Ohio near Cleveland. My dad, moved back to Chillicothe the summer of my moms death in June of 2004. My sister Laurie lives with him there. We buried mom in Chillicothe. Rick just moved to the Cleveland area with Donna (Holbrook) and their youngest of 4 kids. Tim still lives in Texas with his wife Mitzi and their only son is about to marry this summer. Contact me ...
School
Wow, these questions get you thinking.. My biggest crush and first real kiss was Mark Buskirk. Is he still married to Robin?? The teacher that inspired me the most was Mr. Rick Bethel. He made learning fun. My most truamatic moment was when I got a spanking in 7th grade by my math teacher, Miss Hanks for something I didn't do, but was sitting right in the middle of the group ...Expand for more
who did. I think she knew it tho, because when it was my turn, she barely smacked me. Mrs. Knight was a big scary teacher, but I realized that she had a heart of gold. Christi Oyer (Fraley) became my friend in 2nd grade and we still keep in touch today. I loved living on Blaine Hwy! I had another crush on Danny Matthews. What ever happened to Gary Wolfe? What ever happened to Penny Price and Cindy Mendenhall, Mike Douglas and Jeff Kellough?
College
I went to work right out of (actually during) high school. I married at 22 and started having kids right away, but have always had the "want to" to get my degree. I took Architechture and sign language for a semester at a local college, then I took a year at University of Phoenix, Schaumburg, IL campus. Now I am taking classes virtually through Colorado Technical University and will have my Associates degree by June, then will start the bachelors program in the fall.
Workplace
Companies I have worked for since high school. Stan's hamburgers, working HECE from high school flipping burgers and then as a night manager, Fitness instructor at 2 independent fitness salons, Bridal consultant at JC Penney, Reservation agent at Hyatt Hotels, Assistant manager at Starbucks coffee, Admin at Friden Neopost, Order desk, Service Center Manager and Training consultant at Ameritech, Sr. Inventory Analyst for Verizon Wireless (where I am currently employed since 2000).
Military
