Sally Cayton:  

Workplace I retired from Cap. Hill in 1996. Started volunteering at a humane society which bought a kennel in 1999, was President and oversaw a 40 run kennel and was deep into dog rescues. It's a United Way Agency and I'm very proud that we are 100% volunteer. I put in seven days a week. April 2013 and am now V.P. and still enjoying rescuing, also into spay and neuter. We continue to make improvements to our facility and visiting us is like being with 'family.' Unfortunately health issues caused me to step back and resign from office and active dog rescuing in 2014, am now overseeing a large cat spay and neuter grant from home. Early 60's lived in Chicago,then back to Indpls., Became very active in Marion County and state Young Republicans. Worked for Keith Bulen at republican Headquarters. In the late 60's Then Congressman Richard Roudebush invited me to work for him so I moved to Washington, D.C., I lived on Capitol Hill for a few years and in the late 70's moved to southern Maryland. where I am still. When Dick Roudebush left office I worked for Cong. El;wood Hillis (also 5th District) for a year. When William Cohen arrived from Maine in a black leather jacket on a motorcycle, I believe the youngest Congressman, I joined his staff immediately and worked for him until he retired as a Senator in 1998. Married in 1971, Greg born in 1975, Sarah adopted in 1982. We had four girls who died, including twins, before they could come home from the hospital. Sarah is engaged. Greg has a 10 year old son, Zach.. Mom died of Alzheimers in 2010, Dad of a heart attack in 1971, My sister Dotti of pancreatic cancer in 1998. We live in what was a rural area when we moved here in 1981. The road before you turned into our road was a dirt road. It is now five lanes up at the light. We have ten acres, creeks, ravines, a fox den, and a lake thanks to the beavers. The day is gone when I raised pet chickens, turkeys, ducks and guinea hens. And had a huge garden. I read a lot. I like to visit wineries in the nearby states. I got my last two cats when I was on vacations, one in Asheville NC (a gray cat, Ashes), the other, Puddles, a three week old kitten we found in a puddle in a rain storm in Front Royal VA. Things started going downhill in '13 when a sciatic nerve hit out of nowhere and I screamed all the way to the hospital. This was when I had a problem with oxycodone and sat in a chair like a zombie, unless I was falling out of it! I found a surgeon who took care of my back problem. I developed bad balance and fell several times breaking my nose, knocking out teeth, and damaging both shoulders. I recently had a hip replacement (2017) and am walking much better. I had a second knee replacement in June 2018. I am going to put off the shoulder replacements. My American Eskimo companion of 16 years died this summer. One of my chihuahuas has cancer. Not everything has been bad, though.. Worked all year on my daughter' Sarah's wedding on November 11 2017. and will post a picture of that and of my son, Greg, and his wife and son, Zach. For awhile there it was like having a job again (except I was pa...Expand for more
