Carol Spivey:  

For those who have asked. Thanks for the interest. I wasn't that involved in high school because I was riding and training horses. I didn't have a lot of friends but a few of you have requested an update on my whereabouts and what I've been doing. I hope you don't get too bored, once I started writing, I couldn't stop. So there you go in a very big nutshell! So, what have I been doing for the last 40 years? After high school I went to Valley College and Valley Occupational School, for court reporting. I did not complete either one. Basically, I was making good money buying and selling horses, breezing horses at Santa Anita Race track and I was still showing, jumping and training horses. In 1976 I met my husband to be. We moved to Santa Barbara and lived together off and on until we got married in 1983. When we moved to Santa Barbara. I obviously got out of the horse business (too expensive in S.B. to have horses) and into a new sport, windsurfing. I did that for a few years until I had a beautiful daughter, Morgan, in 1986. She is the best part of her dad and me. We were together from 1975 until 1998 and we live right around the corner from each other and still remain good friends. In 1985 my then husband and I spent one month in Great Britain. When we got back we moved to Capitola (right next to Santa Cruz) and have been here ever since. This is about as close to paradise as I think you can get. I've been working for Santa Cruz Montessori School for the last 18 years as the Business Manager/Bookkeeper and was fortunate to watch my daughter go through her schooling as a 5 year old all the way through middle school, where she made the smooth transition into public high school. Pretty much the next four years was filled with driving my daughter all over the state watching her play sports. She was on a club swim team for 10 years and swam, and played water polo and soccer all through high school. She also did Junior Guards every summer for at least 10 years. She moved on to Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. I didn't, I'm still at Santa Cruz Montessori School 18 years later. It is a great place to work; pretty much it is more of an extended family than job. Am I single? You bet. Anyone interested? I've had a few relationships ...Expand for more
