Patty Sisam:  

Life Since 1967 I have had a full life! Moved to Seattle and went to school, LA to play in the sun and Utah to ski. Met my husband, started a family and life goes on. Worked 12 years for San Juan Unified School Distict as a supervisor in the Drug Prevention office. Have remained active in my church and kept up many friendships from my youth. Have two wonderful sons who are both successful in their lives. No grandchildren yet. Live in same home I grew up in, finally it is paid for for the last time I hope. Love my husband and we are having fun being retired. Always ready to reconnect with old friends and check in on how life has gone for others. As August nears I find myself looking forward to our 45th reunion and then again NOT! Can not believe time has passed so quickly. Am hopeful at this reunion that all of us classmates can reconnect and a more real level. Past reunions seemed to mimic high school and many still were viewing themselves in the 'clicks' they were a part of in high school. We are way beyond that now.

Not perfect and have had my share of challenges but I have survived and in surviving have gained a lot of wisdom and insight into people and especially my family and personal relationships. Things that for many years I felt were so important, have little meaning now. Money I have found is the great evil thing of life. Something we all need, want and can use and always want more of, but it also makes people sometimes do, say and become someone they really are not or who they really don't want to be. I'm so grateful I have never been into material things. I say that however I have spent a lot of time and money trying to get what I thought would make me happy only to find out just how little I actually need. What I need most is the knowledge of knowing beyond a doubt that I'm a good person and I do good things for others and my life is full of people who bring me joy and happiness, fulfillment and challenge me to be better. I have a sure knowledge of where I came from, why I'm here and what I am suppose to be ...Expand for more
