Betty's Story

Guess I qualify as a traveler and have actually lived in more than 20 places during my "long" life. One nice thing about getting older is all "Classmates" are up there with me. Grew up in a military family and married a service man. Have three grown children; one son lives in NC, one in Florida and a daughter 20 miles from me in Illinois. Love traveling; have visited Europe three times. My favorite spot for vacation is Door County, Wisconsin "The New England of the Midwest." It is a Peninsula, surrounded by Lake Michigan and Green Bay. Retired from University of Illinois in 1999 but still work there on part-time basis. Love it!! Keeps me up on what's happening and from being too lazy. This helps pay for my love of traveling. Sorry I missed the 50-year reunion; was afraid with a class of 1200, no one would remember me. Maybe I'll get to No. 55 or 60. Update December, 2012. Retired "again" from the University on 12/11....Expand for more
Actually quit my part-time position of 12 years but everyone wished me happy retirement. It's good in some ways but I miss the comraderie at times. My husband, Bernard, passed away last Fall. We were married 26 years and life is so different. I went to North Carolina earlier this year to visit family, then to Florida. Illinois was warmer some days than Florida; I thought I was getting away from the cold weather. My luck!!! Will probably go there for several months in January and look for a place to live permanently. I really enjoy the area where I have family - a son, sister and brother-in-law. They live in Delray Beach area and I love it down there. Trying to take the advice of friends and family to not make any major decisions for the first year. That makes sense. Guess that is all to report. Sure love reading about the lives of those I can remember in California and thereabouts. Looking forward to 55th reunion.
