Alison's Story

Life -After graduating a year early to attend the U of KY, life got interesting. -Partied a lot in college, got a degree in Nutrition & Food Science (I have no idea what I was thinking). Was in a sorority, so thought I'd like to work in Student Services. Kept on attending classes and earned an MS Ed in Higher Ed. However, never did find a job (or, never found a college to hire me). -I'd been married and divorced by this time, and was living in Lexington KY selling Toyotas (not a booming economy in 86). So I packed myself up and did something I'd long dreamed of - moved to LA, CA. NO job, a friend's floor to sleep on. -Within 2 mos had a job at a low end catalog co. and been on a game show - won enough $ to move my dogs and my belongings into a new apartment in Studio City. Had lots of diff. jobs, all in direct/database mktg. Even worked for Disney Books by Mail (what FUN it was to work for the Mouse!) until they folded the division. Stayed in LA area for 8 years, until the earthquakes, fires, riots, and poor economy got to be too much. So hubby #2 and I moved to CT. He finished music school (he's 32 now!), and I continued to work in direct for the next 3 years, plus we had Jane (9/8/95). -Got laid off again in 97, and landed a job in Columbus, OH doing database/direct mktg for the Limited group (Limited, Express, Structure, Lerner NY, Bath and Body Works, Victoria's S...Expand for more
ecret Stores/catalog) plus Abercrombie & Fitch and Limited Too. Stayed here for almost 5 years until Mar 02. -Hubby taught music for 2 years, and finished grad school in Dec 01 (remember Espo and Mr Stanton at BF? Choir was the best!) with 2 masters degrees in voice and choral conducting. Emma came along (7/18/98), then Jason was born in October 2000, and finally Lindsay on 4/10/04 (phew!). I never thought I'd be a parent of young children at 45, for sure! -We lived in Colorado in 2002 to be near family (my mom and Becky). I worked for a catalog company and then landed a job doing loyalty marketing for Albertsons (grocery company). Marc has continued as a choral music teacher. -in Oct 2004 Albertsons transferred us to Corporate in Boise, ID. Not as frightening as it sounds! We've actually enjoyed it, though we are now further from family (and it's a hike to make it to reunions :). Sister Sarah (RHS '82) had TWINS in Dec 04, and she lives in Utah about a 5 hour drive away, so that keeps life interesting. -well, life brings its changes. Sarah moved to Buffalo, and now WE live in Utah! Albertsons was sold, and my job moved to MN. So we moved to SLC in June 06 (closer to Marc's family). I am a director of media analytics at a small ad agency. My 4 kids love living here, and life is good! -look forward to hearing from anyone out there. -Hope everyone is happy!
