Penny's Story
Well Folks, there is nothing outstanding enough about me to make any of you to remember me. I was the skinny runt with long hair. lol. But I knew of a few of them too. But your reaction to who I was is something you need to remember. Am I making any sense? No? Ok, so now you know who I am. lol
Seriously. I am glad to be able to see and converse with all of you again. We sit and talk about how things were back then, and talk about the people we knew quite well, and the ones we wish we had known better. I was really glad to have been able to see Jean Ann Mespelt/Sheffeld (sic), and was glad she was able to make it all the way here from New York. That was so cool. Also Barbara Veatch from Phoenix. We had a ball.

ked at a convienence store, tended bar, and sold home and personal alarm systems from my home. After retirement from the state, I went to Beauty School, set up a shop in Stayton Oregon, then set up two more in Marion Estates in Sublimity. After a few months, I closed the shop in Stayton and worked just the two in Sublimity.
My husband became ill and when the doctor released him, We bought a 5th wheel and began traveling. We did not get to travel for as long as we would have liked, because my husband never did recover fully from his illness, and it finally took him in July of 2010. So am now planning to maybe begin my travels again whenever I get everything together.
I have been happy with my life and am proud of who I am and have become. I have my 4 children, 1 daughter deceased, and 3 step children. I have 8 grandchildren, 11 step grandchildren, and 24 great grandchildren.
Thanks for reading this. Have a good day and God Bless.
