Sharon's Story

I am now 68 years old which is shocking to me. That should be my grandmother, not me. Oh well, here goes a little bit about me. It may be difficult fitting a whole life into a few paragraphs as I tend to be a talker. I graduated from Lowrey of course and got a job at Household Finance downtown Det. Only worked there a few months before I was hired by American Airlines as a Reservationist. Mike and I were still going together. He went to Naval Academy for two years. Married me and went into Michigan State Police. Our first post was in Lansing and while there he also became a State Police Scuba Diver. I had our second son right after our transfer to Jonesville, MI. We built our first house and I mean WE as in us with the help of some of the other troops. Sold that one, rented at a farm, Mike left State Police after ten years and became a pilot for Masco Corporation. During this time, I worked for Mark I Molded Plastics doing their payroll. I ended up working out of our home which was great. I was able to do this for ten plus years. We built another home on the lake and were then transferred to Detroit. During...Expand for more
all this time, I was wife, mother and active in our church. We sung in the choir, I taught VBS and children's church. Also dabbled a bit in oil painting. Life was good. After our move to Trenton, MI, our sons continued their education. We went to Gilead Baptist in Taylor and I worked in the office there. We built another home in Carleton, MI. We just got settled in before our transfer to Atlanta. Mike was at top of totem pole so when he was offered the transfer, we thought "why not, both boys are gone" so we took it. David, the oldest, ended up working with Xerox Corp. and is now with GE in New York. Our son, John, graduated after our transfer to Atlanta and joined us there. After only ten months, we were transferred to Greensboro, NC. My Dad died unexpectedly a few months later and Mom moved here to be near us. Mike retired 5 years ago and now, here we are. David married Diane giving us Samantha and John married Doreen, giving us Collin and Nigel. Who was it that said , "And that's the way it was" or something like that? Walter Cronkite when he signed off ? Sorry this is so long but after all, it's a life!!!
