Theresa Baird:  

Life I attended Krebs from 1959 to 1965. You may remember me best as the girl with the "big" hair or, as someone wrote in my yearbook when I graduated from Krebs, "to the girl whose hair has been every color of the rainbow." God knows, I was teased quite a bit about it. Funny, but I became a hairdresser and actually spent 9 years making a living giving others big, colorful hair and also teaching hairdressing as well! Although I attended Conrad High School for the year 1965-66, I did not graduate in 1966. However, you can find a picture of me on the inside cover of the 1966 yearbook, sitting under the big tree in front of the school, sketching during an outside art class. My life took a different course in 1966 when I and my family moved away. Instead of finishing high school, I went to cosmetology school and became a hairdresser. I received my GED in 1973 and changed careers after graduating from business school. For most of my adult life, I have worked in the legal profession as a secretary and word processor. I have looked at the names of the people listed as students and can remember quite a few of you. Unfortunately, I lost touch with most of the people I went to school with, but it is interesting to see the familiar names and know that many are still around. After 30 years of marriage I have recently become widowed. I have 2 grown children and three wonderful granddaughters. In my pictures you will see my beloved Old English Sheepdog (OES), Chauncey, who, sadly, passed away last June. After being petless for about six months, I started working with an Old English Sheepdog rescue group and am now the proud owner of a eight year old, young lady, Heidi. She is not a full bred OES, and, actually looks more like a Bearded Collie, but she is beautiful and a real sweetie. Actually, she has turned out to be a perfect match for me because, in dog years and in human years, we are just about the same age and have the same aches and pains that ladies our age get. We both take a Glucosimine and Condroitin tablet each morning to keep those age related aches and pains from taking over! LOL Although I never thought I'd enjoy it, I am most grateful to Mrs. Gauger (my Home Ec teacher at Krebs) for the needlework skills I have today. I am an avid stitcher, quilter, knitter, crocheter, sewer -- anything dealing with fabric and thread. I've also dabbled in designing cross stitch and embroidery and have made several heirloom pieces for my family and friends. One of the latest pictures I posted of me was taken about a month ago, when I m...Expand for more
