Shirley's Story

We were the first graduating class to go all the way through 4 years. I was was an ASB officer, Publicity Chairman. Went on to college at Biola college but dropped after a year. Was in the band and played the clarinet in band. Had a brother 2 years behind me at Pioneer. He was a hell raiser! Went to Calvary Baptist church with Jerry & Gene Herbert. Jerry was our president when I held office. Ran around with Karen Bridges who married a marine. Went with Ken Cates who was 2 years older than me. We did marry in 1968 while he was in the Navy. He made a career with the navy so travelled to many places. Married then went to Puerto Rico for 2 years. My daughter Kim was born there. She just turned 42, married with 2 boys and has a great husband. Went to Maryland for Ken to go to school. Between tours always came back to Calif. We then went to Midway Island which is about 1,000 miles from Hawaii. Midway is only a 2 square island which why you can go to Hawaii free which we did several times. My second daughter was born on Miday Island-Deborah who is now 38, divorced with a girl and boy. We then came back to good old Calif and stationed in San Diego. Bought a house and was never going to leave! My third daughter was the only child born in the USA! Sherie is 34, has 4 kids (3 girls & 1 boy) and a wonderful hubby. Stayed in San Diego for 5 years and Ken had make rank several times. When he made Senior Chief he got orders to London, England. No way was I staying home! Saw everything in England. Neat place but waaaaay too cold! Neat place to visit. No, didn't have any more kids! We didn't really want to come back to Cali...Expand for more
f and had some very close friends who were from Indiana. Moved here in 1981 and still here. Almost 31 years now! So I guess I'm a Indiana hoosier now. I was not use to such March maddness! Basketball here is like football in Calif. I worked at Whirlpool Corp. for 31 years, Feb. 16. I loved my job as a sourcing coordinator. When I first started working there I was the 3rd youngest! Now I'm the oldest! Old fart! Will retire the end of 2011. Can't wait! Oldest daughter lives in Owenboro Ky. Evansville is only a few miles over the bridge a few miles. I am a advid Kentucky wildcat fan! A lot of people at work are Indiana University fans so we are rivals! Haha Kim and her husband own the neatest little cafe. Great food. Yes, she learned from the best! I love to cook. Deborah is a nurse and lived in Ky for years. She had a rough marriage and went to Tx as a traveling nurse for 3 months. She likes it so much she's living and working in San Antonio. Her daughter lives in Chicago and son lives here in Ind. Sherie lives in San Antonio Tx and home schools here 4 kids. Does a great job at it too. They actually live about 45 minutes away from San Antonio. Have a lot of land and built a very house with a pool. All of us love the water. This brings me back to me! I'm divorced and live in Evansville. Actually love it here. Much much slower pace and the people are great. Getting ready to retire the 23rd of dec., 2011. It is a little scary since work, being a mom was my whole life. Hope I don't go brain dead! Haha. Excited to see all my classmates. Have never been to a class reunion since no one had my address.
