Gloria's Story
Life
I moved to Dallas after I graduated from the U. of MD. in 1964. I worked as a Flight Attendant with American Airlines for two years until I married. We moved to Lake Charles, LA. where my husband was born and raised. I have remained here ever since as it is a great place to live. We had two beautiful children. We divorced in 1981 and I remained single for 13 years when I remarried in 1994. Yes, I am still married to this wonderful man.
I have 3 grandchildren. It is hard to think of myself as a grandmother!

I attended the 20th and the 40th and 45th BCC class reunions. How great is was to reunite with great old friends.
I have been into genealogy research since 1997 when I got my computer. I learned that I am related to P.T. Barnum, Emily Dickinson and Harriet Beecher Stowe. I have 2 families traced back to England in the 1200's and 2 back to the 1800's in Germany. This has been a real eye opener. It is so hard to relate to how my families crossed the Atlantic in a small boat with children for 4 months. I don't complain anymore when my PC has problems!!
We survived Hurricane Rita in September 2005. I had a heart attack while we were evacuated but I am fine.
