Marlene Michael:  

Life Born (while living in Eagle, ID) at St. Lukes in Boise, ID & raised in Caldwell, Idaho, and was able to graduate from HS with one semester after moving to Santa Barbara. My father & mother both were teachers and had moved around Idaho and Washington through the years my 3 older brothers were in school. After we moved to Caldwell the parents bought a small grocery store and eventually that was sold as bigger stores came in the area. Dad continued to teach until his retirement. Our stay in SB was short as a family. After I worked awhile at the 1st American Title Co. the parents moved back to Caldwell. I stayed a few years and returned later to Idaho, also. I have lived in Idaho and Washington since then. I was married in 1966 and divorced in 1986. Nikki and I left to live in Lewiston with family. We lived in Lewiston, Idaho, until I met and married a great guy from Washington. We lived in Orofino, Idaho, until he retired from the US Forest Service. We moved to St. John in 1997 and love it here. It is like we both moved "home again." I still do solo work at church - really like small groups such as trios, quartets, etc. We have a small RV and have traveled lots since June 2003. I have been able to go back and sing with Tapestry again (a group of 20 women) for awhile now. Looking forward to the 16th of January to begin a new set of music for concerts in May 2007. Now it is June 15, 2007, and I will not be able to continue singing w/Tapestry in the fall. The concerts went well, but for me the eyesight problems with Myasthenia Gravis have made it necessary to quit the group. ...Expand for more
