Valerie's Story
I lived in San Fernando Valley for 33 years, moved to Culver City and it was only 25 minutes from the Santa Monica beaches. I loved the mist of the waves, sunsets, and digging my toes into the warm sand.
I've managed carpet and restoration companies, in West Los Angeles for 4 yrs. and in Erie,
PA, for 3 yrs. Handled restorations, in the Northridge earthquake.
Moved on to Hermosa and Manhatten Beaches and became Miss Jaegermeister, at 36yos, promoting this German Liquor, all over Northern CA, to get, bar owners to purchse this and continue ordering it. We had promotion parties, with the banner, table tents, hats and t-shirts, plus, beautiful girls dressed in black short shorts and a t-shirts, designed by me or them, they were white with black lettering. It was the greatest experience with 125 girls to send to Vegas, New Orleans, where, Jaeger is number one. Tahoe City and Tulsa, AZ, to name a few. That lasted 3 1/2 yrs.
When, I was 43 yos. I moved to Erie, PA, in a snow storm, in Dec.'95 whoa, that was so scary! I was not use to all of this slippery white ice, that, didn't go aw...Expand for more
ay, until, May '96. My life drastically changed, when, I became a storm chaser in 1998 and travelled to 38 states, chasing hurricanes and tornadoes for 4 yrs. Moved to Vegas and loved that for 3 yrs and now, I'm in Seattle, WA, at the age of 58 yrs old. My life had so many thrilling moments and sad, like losing my mother to cancer, when, I was 24 yrs old, which, changed me in so many ways. For along time, I was lost, without her. Her death, really chnged my life, to, good, but, the bad was the worst.
I've only had once contact, from Classmates. After, high school, I became, engaged to Ken Duncan and then, he left to go into the service. I was only 18 yrs old and couldn't deal with him, being, so far away, for so long. It broke my heart, he was my first love. I've been trying to find him, and see what he's been up. My best friend was, Darlene Skane and I don't think, she would be on here, but, who knows, right?
Hello, to all of you and your's. Live life, to the fullest, you've only got one chance and if, it gets real tough for you, I always say, Change The Channel, to move on..
