Carol Laverty:  

Life Carol Bockelman Laverty, graduate of class of 1967. Graduated from SWOSU in 1971 and with my Masters Degree in 1975. I live on the family ranch near Laverne with Jerald Laverty. Jerald and I have 7 children in a yours, mine, and ours family and have one child-Brendan in college at OSU. We are the proud grandparents of 13 grandchildren. I work for OSU Cooperative Extension Service in Harper County. My folks also live on the family ranch along with my son, Jeremy and his family. This past year has been fun as I have one daughter married and now expecting our 14th grandchild and I went to New York City in the Fall then on to a conference in Rochester, New York. I love to travel and have been all over the United States with my job. It is hard to think about retiring as Jerald is not a traveler!! Brendan joined the Army reserves and loved Boot Camp so who knows what kind of son he is because i have never heard anyone loving Boot Camp but he has his pilot's license, joined ROTC at OSU and wants to go to Aviator school in the Army. He must be Jerald's son!!! We love all of our kids so much!!! Where has the time gone? Time continues to go by since my last part of the story. We have that wonderful 14th granddaughter and she is one year old. I am still working and Jerald is about to finish his Cessna 120 airplane that Brendan is hoping to get in the air soon. Brendan is doing his internship at the Alva air...Expand for more
