Susan's Story

Life I got married in 1973 to my high school sweetheart (not from Shoreline!). Spent 3 years in N Carolina while he was in the Army, and during that time had the opportunity to tour that part of the country. I've been to most of the lower 48 now. We divorced two years after moving back here when he got out of the Army. After that I went to work in electronics assembly, where I met my second husband. I had my two great kids with him, a daughter and a son, but we divorced after 5 years. I had worked for several electonics companies by that time. Then I went to work for Boeing but left after 10 months (young and stupid!) I went back to school and got my certificate in medical transcription and did that for several years. I returned to Boeing when they started hiring again in 1996, survived several layoffs but got laid off post 9-11. So I went back to school again, and this time got my ATA degree in paralegal. Never managed to get hired as a paralegal because I had no experience (and I'm over 40--**sigh**) Now I'm back at Boeing after being recalled, and that's most likely where I will retire from. I work nights, which I love because I have my days free to play, take care of family stuff, etc. I've been with the same man for over 20 years now. I'm an artist at heart, so in my spare time I love to be creative wit...Expand for more
h beading, scrapbooking, making greeting cards and other artwork. But most of the time I can be found beading or reading. I also like to go golfing, hiking, and camping. ***UPDATE*** A miracle happened last August, and something I never thought would happen, did--I became a GRANDMA to the most adorable little baby girl ever! I've been enjoying her more than I ever thought possible. Having grandchildren makes all the trials of having kids worthwhile! In looking through this site and the yearbooks, it strikes me that I didn't know most of my classmates. I was an extreme introvert, only had my BFF Linda Stinson and a handful of others I was loosely acquainted with. I couldn't understand or tolerate a lot of the general cruelty and BS of people my age then. I laugh now because I'd never care what ANYONE else said or thought of me now! Anyway, it's too bad so many of us never got to know each other better because of preconceived roles we assume. It's all our loss (though less so in some instances, perhaps--LOL!) College I went to Lake Washington Technical College in 1992 and got my medical transcription certificate. Also went to Edmonds Community College part time from 1999 to 2001, then full time in 2002, and got my ATA paralegal degree. I loved going to school and would like to take some more classes.
