kathleen's Story
Well, well, well after all these years I cannot believe some of you still remember me! I was always dancing up and down the halls and singing my heart out in the choir. I amsure everyone thought I was weird or out of my proverbial mind!!
I was a Chiefette for the KC chiefs from 9th grade to senior year. After graduating I went to work for a short period of time at an engineering firm. I got the bug to dance professionally so I headed off to Vegas where I worked at the Lido de Paris at the Stardust hotel. I am sure those nuns would be turning in their graves knowing I went from Catholic school girl to Vegas Showgirl. I was there at the end of the Rat Pack days and Elvis Presley shenanigans and boy did I have fun.
From there I went on several tours da as an actress/singer/dancer dancing and singing my way around the world for many years. I also did TV, film and theater too.
My pix that I have up is from my 60th birthday where I performed in a Vegas review for my family and friends. Yes I am still hoofing it as best I can. My pipes are a little rust...Expand for more
y too, but they still squeak loudly.
In between all the years of extensive performances I went to school to become a Nurse Practitioner FNP. I ended up doing lots more international travelling teaching medical professional classes as an expert in Intravenous Conscious sedation (putting folks to sleep for procedures) and Endoscopic therapeutics (Looking at butts and bellies with a scope!).
I was a Love Boat Dancer for many years and met my husband onboard the original love boat the "Pacific Princess". Of course I was breaking all the rules fraternizing with a passenger but hey it all turned out really well and we have been married 26 years. One son that is 18 and a freshman in engineering at University of California at San Diego.
I would love to hear from anyone from Loretto and have been wondering if any get togethers' have been planned for a reunion or the 45th, YIKES!!!
My home is in LA and would be glad to open my home to any of you that happen to be here on the west coast.
Do keep in touch!!
Healthfully yours.
