Barbara Heston-Moore:  

Life After High School I attended N. Seattle Community College, taking Psychology, Arts, and Early Childhood Education. That was interesting, but not enough to want kids of my own yet! I tried my hand at a variety of jobs: sold Cookware and cutlery, Avon, cut out wetsuits, etc., then joined the Air Force in 1974. I was in Food Service Preparation, stationed in Udorn, Thailand at the end of the Vietnam War. Then I had surgery on my knee, returned to Kingsley Field AFB, Ore., got married, had a son, got divorced, and returned to Seattle. I rounded out my education with an AAS from Edmonds Community College and a 2-yr Accounting Certificate from Renton Technical College. I raised Brian with the help of my family and a "Big Brother" named David, who has become a lifelong friend. When Brian was ten I found my life partner, Richard. We've been married 27 years. His three daughters were teenagers, are now married, and we have six grand-children. They live in ID, WI, and SC, and we enjoy visiting them. Brian is a software engineer, married, and currently living in Seattle. I am retired as Bookkeeper/Accountant for the VFW Dept. of Washington, State Hdq., and would enjoy scrapbooking if I had any time and could keep all my projects under control. ...Expand for more
