Betty's Story
Life
Since graduating from Shortridge I went on to graduate from Butler University in 1960 majoring in Home Economics. I also met my husband there, Joe Grissom. That had to be a miracle since I was not really into football or track.
We have two beautiful daughters, Ann and Ruth who also graduated from Butler. We also have 1 grandchild, Joseph E. who has stolen our hearts.
We left Indiana after graduation for Michigan, Detroit, where we worked and later retired there. As some of you know we lived in Henderson, Nevada for 4 1/2 years and I enjoyed every moment! We returned to live here shortly after 9/11/2001 since our children and grandson reside here.
College
Who can forget the "C" club? If you wanted to fine me between classes I would be there playing cards!
Workplace
After graduating...Expand for more
from Butler, we moved to Detroit, Michigan. I became a teacher, my biggest mistake in life, for a couple of months. You see I became pregnant! Joe and I started our family. I later went back to work at the International, UAW. This was my third time going back there. I found office work suited me much better than teaching and I did not have to take my work home.
When I finally retire for good, I was what we called a Systems Administrator which was just someone who had control of all the computer input and output. The job required travelling once every 18 months and that was when I first went to Las Vegas. I guess you could say I that was when I began to love it.
I later became a Certified Duncan Ceramics teacher which I used to teacher Senior Ceramics for several years after leaving my paying job.
