Carol Day:  

Updated 01/28/2012: Some of the best times I had in High School was meeting each and every one of my pictured friends in our 1974 yearbook! I remember how much excitement we had as we anticipated what life would be after we graduated from our beloved Novato High. We were all a little apprehensive, but we knew we would succeed in something we aspired to accomplish. After I graduated from HS, I went to what we all referred to as "Tinker Toy Tech" or College of Marin. Remember that? One of my best friends, Cathy Coffman (married: Bienati) and I were studying general education classes at the time. So much going on in my life then. Thought I knew it all. Soon after that I was married to a Vietnam Veteran in the U.S. Army. I am still with the guy! 36 years now. Wow! We have two sons, who have grown up to fine young men and pursuing their life ambitions too. They are not married nor do they have any children. I currently live, work, and attend college close to Notre Dame, IN. Find me on Facebook: Carol Day, Ivy Tech Community College, Work at Notre Dame University, Kitchen Staff. Yah...that's me. :-) Below still applies and was posted 08/2010: I am going to college studying Hospitality Management. I live in Mishawaka, IN with my husband, Gordon Day. We have been married since 1976. Gordon is retired Army since 1988. We own a beautiful home in Mishawaka and we have two sons, Casey (30) and Dane (34). I have worked and lived in Europe, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Indiana since I graduated from Novato H.S. in 1974. I always wanted to be a positive role model for others when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a perfect choice and idea. As it turns out, they were right!. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have a good attitude, professional style, and good people to work with to be able to deal with the day-to-day. My father, Robert Craft, Sr., is my hero. He has been my inspiration and mentor since I was just a wee girl. My dad started his business out of the back of our family station wagon way back in the day (1960's) when he had lost his job as a used car salesman and had five kids to provide for. Since then, there has been no stopping him! Listen to this... He is in his 80's now (!!) and he still gets up early in the morning, walks to the bus stop close to our home, rides it to work, works as a printing broker in San Francisco and keeps up with everything it takes to run a successful business still to this day! Cool. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Candy Matson, because we were Mascots together in 1971 - 1972. Loved those days and Candy...if you're out there, please contact me. I love dance, food, friends, fun, weddings, family gatherings, anything that brings community to us in a friendly setting. Dance: Jazz and ballet, social and belling dancing are all fun stuff for me. Food: I am studying to be an Exec. Chef and Hospitality Manager in a great setting. Friends: I love them all! Weddings: I love the Reception mostly. The Wedding part is fun and spiritually moving. The Reception of the wedding... you can find me in the middle of the dance floor trying to learn some new dance moves. I am only 21 (??) after all. Family Gatherings: When I can make them, I do make it there because you never know when you can see them again...or not at all. So I always make those a priority. Attending to Community: If I can inspire people to come together for the mere pleasure of a good time, I will do it. I love what that brings to the table for everyone...a sense of community and belonging to something bigger than they are. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel my kitchen and add on a dinning area. My dream home would be in Colorado, Oregon or Washington State. I love Calif. but cannot afford it till I am successful or achieve extra $. So, for now...in one of those states. My least favorite place to live would be where I am at this time (Indiana). Patience is the best thing I have learned. Maturity does bring quite a few surprises. We just must learn to wait for them and not force things so much. I wish and pray I accrue more patience...Hmmmm. If I won $100 million, I'd give most of it to me and my husband, then spend the rest on investing for the future, Non-Profit Animal Rescue Associations and Non-Profit Family Advocacy Programs and Associations. My current age is 54. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be non-existent or too old to do anything significant because of the more mature folks that were living around me then. I was so completely uninformed. Now I am an College Student in Culinary and Hospitality Management. My most favorite job ever was when I was a Lead Event Specialist or Demonstrator. I have had several years experience in that field now. Since there are not great supervisors in that field in this area, I am only attending College for this time. I really did love my Event positions though. My best friend would tell you I'm a nut, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as charismatic. My best friends know who they are and I love them dearly. They are all awesome and we still to this day call each other and stay in touch. I dress in comfy clothing. Elegant, but sophisticated. I share my home with my husband and my five cats, 50 gallon fish tank full of Mollies and one bird, which I find overwhelming at times. I have two ballroom dance trophies on my shelf at home. I have had several years of training in dance. Mainly Jazz and ballet. Couple years of dance training in social/ballroom dancing too. My trophies are from a ballroom dance program that I joined when I moved to Northeast Indiana. I hope to be back home in California. I'm going to get there by studying for my degree in Culinary and Hospitality Management. My long time be...Expand for more
