Barbara's Story

HELLO AND BLESSINGS TO ALL OF YOU. IT IS MY HOPE THAT LIFE FINDS YOU PROSPEROUS, HAPPY AND IN GOOD HEALTH. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT 45 YEARS HAVE PASSED WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY THAT WE ASSEMBLED TOGETHER FOR THE LAST TIME FOR OUR GRADUATION IN 1967. FOR MYSELF, LIFE HAS CERTAINLY HAD ITS UNEXPECTED TURNS AND ITS MOMENTS OF LASTING MEMORIES. I AM CURRENTLY DIVORCED AND THE MOTHER OF A SON. RICHARD IS A PILOT FOR DELTA AIRLINES SINCE HIS RETURN FROM THE WAR IN IRAQ. HE IS MARRIED AND ENJOYING LIFE WITH 3 DOGS, 1 HORSE AND 1 PARROT. WE LIVE IN THE DANA POINT AREA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL COASTAL COMMUNITY MIDWAY BETWEEN LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO. I AM SEMI-RETIRED FROM A CAREER IN NURSING WITH A SPECIALTY IN FORENSIC MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. I HAVE RECENTLY COMPLETED A MANUSCRIPT FOR A FICTIONAL NARRATIVE ABOUT PTSD AND WOULD HOPE TO SEE IT PUBLISHED SOON. I HAVE STARTED WORK ON MY SECOND NOVEL.

ST HAS BEEN PUT TOGETHER AND INCLUDES KENYA, ANTARTICA AND A COOKING SCHOOL IN ITALY. THROUGH THE YEARS, I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS VISITS TO CHICAGO AND HAVE STAYED IN TOUCH WITH KATHY AHNER (NOW VANDERVER). MY LAST VISIT WAS IN 2007 WHEN I RAN IN THE CHICAGO HALF-MARATHON. I CONTINUE TO RUN, BUT NOT AS AGGRESSIVELY AS I ONCE DID. I SEEM TO BE QUITE SATISFIED WITH DAILY RUNS ALONG THE COAST. SCUBA DIVING WAS, AT ONE TIME, A PASSION WITH UNDERWATER EXPLORATIONS OF HAWAII, THE SEA OF CORTEZ AND THE LOCAL WATERS OFF SAN CLEMENTE, LAGUNA BEACH AND CATALINA ISLAND. I LEARNED TO SAIL WHEN RICH WAS QUITE YOUND AND WE SHARE MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES FROM OUR TIME SPENT AT SEA. AS YOU MAY HAVE GUESSED FROM THE PICTURE, I ENJOY THE PRESENCE IN MY LIFE OF A GERMAN SHEPHERD NAMED AKILA. NOT A DAY GOES BY WHEN I DON'T, AT LEAST ONCE, CONTEMPLATE DOING A DRIVE-BY AT THE LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER AND LEAVING HER THERE. IF YOU HAVE EVER HAD A SHEPHERD IN YOUR LIFE, I'M CERTAIN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE AMBIVALENCE. SINCERELY, BARBARA
