Millie's Story
I moved to AZ to attend UofA in 1975 and never went home. I lived in NM for 8 years but came back to AZ and moved from the desert to the mountains. The only things I miss about Illinois are Wrigley Field and Merichka's.
I had a lengthy career in banking and then went in to economic development and workforce development. I am a registered para-planner, a Certified Economic Developer and a Certified Master Consultant in Business Retention and Expansion.
I also managed THE KINGSMEN of "Louie Louie" fame and worked for the Phoenix Roadrunners IHL hockey team. I served as the director of group sales for the KC Royals and Texas Rangers during spring training in Surprise, AZ and was the assistant box office manage...Expand for more
r for the Phoenix Symphony.
I ended my working career working at the Silver City New Mexico Police Department where I did all the Uniform Crime Reporting, statistics and officer certification for 24 uniformed police officers and 6 detectives. Greatest job ever.
I had an incredible life since my early days, toiling away at McDonalds on Jefferson St.
I have one son, a daughter in law and two lovely grandchildren. My husband lost a long battle with cancer 2 years ago. We had been together for 45 years. My dogs Spencer and Roscoe are the best friends I could ask for.
I'm currently living in the mountains of Arizona, Prescott to be exact and after soooo many year in the desert, I really love mountain life.
