Sherry's Story
Life
Married to Doug, a mathematician, have one perfect daughter and three grand kids. I have an aussie and a border collie. I have lived all over the place. I love Idaho mountains, SE Utah desert, and Florida beaches. Visited Germany, Norway, Korea, Singapore, would like to travel more. I worked as a software engineer and project manager for 25 years. I like to run, play tennis, fly,and backpack. I flew a Cessna 150 to Oshkosh EAA Airventure.
A few years ago I ran a half marathon and have done about four or five now. Would like to do another.
I did a 30 mile backpack trip with my dog a couple years ago in the Frank Church wilderness. A truly awesome experience for me. Try to do an annual trip, but now Doug and good friend Norma join me. Billie joined us a couple times too and II hope she will come again.
School
teachers who inspired me, all at Apollo: Ms. Norton (speech) wonder woman, Ms Bontrager (p.e./health) who tried to make us into human beings, Mr Estes (American history) thank you for making it interesting, and there was the algebra teacher, Miss Peterson, finally a woman who knew math. High schoo...Expand for more
l did not do much for me and I left early. I got my GED with flying colors so I could go to U of I.
The wildest thing I did in school was to skip several of my classes the last semester of junior year. then I was afraid they would catch me, so I quit going to a couple of classes for about a month. Ms McAdams did not even miss me from chorus and still gave me a B! I was really sweating foods class and also took a B. Ok, so I don't sing very good Karaoke and it took me a long time to finally learn how to cook!
College
computer science major, university of iowa, three and a half years of all nighters at the computer center. Now I hear they use laptops, what a shame and a loss of experience. I hope they have some other way to get that special comradery.
Workplace
I've grown allergic to it.
Military
Are you kidding me? A peace-nik.
Events: This year I am looking forward to flying in the Air Race Classic, an all women's cross country airplane race, with a hundred or so other women in fifty five airplanes. It is two thousand some miles and a follow on to the original Powder Puff Derby. Wish us tailwinds!
