Life
I married Dave Statler (Westview 1968) and soon moved to Montana for him to attend college. After graduation we hopped to NYC, Washington D.C. and Jackson, Mississippi! By the time our daughter was ready to go to first grade we were settled in Boise, Idaho! A move to Orofino, Idaho and a divorce and Sarah was now 13. When she was 15, she and I moved to Lewiston, Idaho where she attended high school and I attended college! She graduated in 1988 and me, 1989.

I have a strong connection to Peace Corps and my group has constant reunions!!! Never tiring of talking of Belize! One reunion was IN Belize! And Belizeans come and visit, that being a special thing I have been able to do; bring several kids and teachers here for summers.

I love making contact with old Kankakee friends!
Easy to find in Idaho!
