Barbara's Story
In 1st grade I attended Promise School (a one-room school house) in Promise, Oregon. I attended Wallowa Elementary School (Wallowa, Oregon) from 2nd thru 4th grades. My best friend was Cheryl Peterson. My family moved to Christian Valley, CA and I attended Placer Hills School in Meadow Vista 5th thru 8th grades.
My best friends at Placer were Christyne Schaller and Linda Strawser. Chris and I remained friends for many years after high school. She was my maid of honor and I was her matron of honor. My daughter's middle name is Christyne.
I married fellow classmate Wayne Hubbard in August of 1967 and we moved to Pacifica, CA. Wayne attended San Francisco State College and I worked there. Our oldest son Andy was born in 1970, our second son Tony in 1972 and our daughter Vanessa in 1975. In 1976 Wayne, who had been working for Bank of America, was transferred to Panama City, Republic of Panama. I stayed for a year and a half. I moved back to the Auburn area and we divorced in 1978.
I met a wonderful man while I was working at Auburn Faith Hospital and we married in 1982. We had a son, Travis, in 1983. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in 2007.
I have worked as a secretary all my adult life. First at McClellan Air Force Base in Sacramento. Then at San Francisco State College, Bank of America in Sacramento, Auburn Faith Hospital, Roseville Hospital, Auburn Faith again and then the Placer County Office of Education for 16 years. I retired in 2004 but got bored within two months. I have been working for a ge...Expand for more
neral surgeon in Roseville since September, 2004 and I love it. I started as a Receptionist and then moved to billing/authorizations.
My kids are spread out all over the US. Andy and his wife Kathy live in Antioch after living in Chico, S.F., Oakland, Alameda, Boston, and Seattle. Tony lives in LA after living in Sacramento, San Jose and Las Vegas. Vanessa, her husband Chris and daughter Brittany live in Mooresville, NC (Race City USA) after living in Discovery Bay and El Dorado Hills. Travis lives in Lafayette, LA after living in Sugarland, TX and Seattle.
I have two granddaughters. Vanessa's daughter Brittany, born in May of 1998 and Tony's daughter Brennan, born in October of 1999. I love being a grandmother and sincerely enjoy sewing for them and making their costumes for Halloween. My only wish is that they lived close by so I could watch them grow up.
Bob and I still live in Christian Valley in the house we built in 1984. We have remodeled it twice now. We began skiing when Travis left home in 2003 and we love it.
It's been great seeing some of my classmates from Placer on Classmates. All I can say to the rest is, ya'll need to post more now and then photos and "your story". Part of the reason I joined Classmates is so I could hear what happened to people I went to school with since they left Placer!
Story Wizard questions . . .
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel living room and add on another 10 to 15 feet. My dream home would be a modern log cabin in Jackson Hole, WY although Lake Tahoe is an option.
