I'm living in Los Angeles with my husband Bill of 44 years. We lived in Santa Monica for all the years our children were growlng up and until keeping up a big house became a chore and we had way too much space, so we downsized to living in a senior facility which has mostly UCLA retired faculty as residents .
Our last trip to the Detroit-Ferndale area was for the 45th reunion with the great party at the Huntt's home and staying in a motel along with Betty (Murphy) Chafee and Gail (Hollenbeck) Coyne in Charlevios and Port Huron. It was a great time.

versity in Milwaukee and got a double major in English and Journalism. I worked at Park Davis for 4 years as a writer editor then went back to school at Wayne State to get my masters degree and my teaching credential. I worked for four years teaching in West Bloomfield while going to night school and summer school and also got my Master in education.
I met up with Beverly Cantin when I got to California and would visit her on weekends since I lived and taught inLong Beach and she lived and worked in Santa Monica. I met my husband at the wedding of Bev's roommate and we started dating and married about six month later.
