Sharon's Story
Hi! Long time no see! It's so good to have a way to talk to everyone again! I am Beth Beatty. A transfer from Petaluma in my Sophmore Year. I was probabily overlooked by most of my clasmates, as I was very shy. I was friendly if you said hello or were in any of my classes. I was 5'2", 119 lbs,Brown hair , Blue eyes. I was in Choir, Home Ec. My bestfriends were Shirley Knolle, Ellen Vittori,& Sharon Duesterman. I had other friends but I can't remember their names. I was dating a guy from Travis Air Force Base. I married him in 1964, divorced him in 1980. We had 2 kids, Brenda, 1966. She was born in Sonoma, Cal .And Blaine 1970. At the time he as born, there were like 26 babies born to members of our class.Blaine was born in Kankakee,Il. We had moved there after Regan became Governer.During my time as Housewife, I went back to College to be a Graphic Artist. My passion was designing clothes. After my divorce I ended up working for a bank.One of my odd jobs was working for 7-11 in Boulavard Park,Wa. Where I met a classmate from Sonoma Valley Hi. Things like this have happened to me all my life. In 1987, I was ijured on the job in Seattle, Wa. In 1990 I finally convinced Labor and Industries That I was not able to do my Job, and was retired. In 1997 I was well enough to volanteer at a Mental Health Drop-in Ce...Expand for more
nter. Where I found my true calling. Felt very lucky to be as able as I was. I was able to be a valued member of Grays Harbor Mental Health Advsory Board here in Aberdeen, Wa. When it closed I was very sad as were all the members. But we still see each other around town. So we are able to keep in touch. I am a Grandmother of Garen 22, & Marin 16, Who are now living with me. This second time around parenting is so much easier. Maybe I'm not sweating the small stuff. I am living in the same town I was born in. In fact it's the same town my Mother's Father was born in in1898. I have to be carefull of what I say to whom as I don't know all my relatives by sight or name. It's really funny to know my peers are Grandparents too. I haven't been back to Sonoma, very often, and haven't made it to any Reunions yet, but it's still a goal of mine. I almost went to the one in 1980 but had gained weight and was too embaressed to go! We lucked out as a Community, with the Japaneese Sunami . There is a Big river and Bay the waves could have come down to my neighbood river. I live .5 block from it. Previous Sunami Waves have destroyed bridges spanning other local rivers. I feel like I have lived many lives since 1964. If you can remember me, please write! I would love to hear from you. I have lost touch with everyone.
