Hello to all my class mates from Foothill High, class of "70". Well as most of my close friends know from high school I meet Rick when I was 15 and he was 21, (that went over like a lead balloon with my dad but after he meet Rick he loved him until the day dad died.) I married my high school sweetheart ( he was in the navy while I was in school.) Anyway we were married in Aug of 1970, and after we were married and he got me away from my mother he brought me out of my shell and really showed me what life was about,and that I didn't have to be afraid of other people, he showed me things and took me places I never knew existed, and we are still together after almost 39 years. We have 3 kids 2 boys and a girl. I call them kids but my oldest son is 36, my middle son is 33 and my daughter is 28.

After my last child, my daughter, started kindergarten I went to work part time at K-Mart that lasted 6 years then I left that job for a position at the Missoula Federal Credit union, that one also lasted 6 years. I then left that position to move on to Missoula County for a position as title clerk in the motor vehicle Dept. That also lasted 6 years. My last position was at First American Title Company insuring home titles and doing searches, yet again after 6 years I became ill and the Dr's could not figure out what was wrong and they looked and watched me for nearly a year until I had a major seizure and they found a baseball size nonmilignant brain tumor. Surgery was the next morning and after that episode I had to retire and became a housewife again. Amazingly they said the tumor could have been growing even as far back as high school, so it grew and then stopped and then started all over again. This type of tumor is very slow growing. But I came through it and the only problem is some short term memory pr...Expand for more
