Eleanor's Story

Life After high school, I worked for a year at Hartford A and I, an insurance company in downtown Chicago. In 1951 I married and in 1952 I had to leave my job due to pregnancy related illness. I did not return to work until 1963 when I worked for School District 125, main office was in Alsip. In 1968 I left District 125 and went to District 218, the high school district. While there I worked 1 year in the counseling office. I left the Chicago area in 1969, lived 1 year in Las Vegas NV and 22 years in Santa Clara CA where, both my husband, Chuck, and I worked for Pacific Bell in San Jose. In 1992 we retired to New Mexico and I was widowed in 1997. I was fortunate to attend the February 1998 cruise, March 2001 cruise and 50th reunion in October 2000. And, now I plan on attending the cruise to the Panama Canal with a dear friend, Jo... which I did.. Not much new in the past few years. My sister's class, 1956, will be holding a 50th reunion next September. We plan on attending...and, we did. My boys and my step-daughter gave me a wonderful 80th birthday party in Palos Heights IL. I took two friends from here in Las Cruces and we picked up my sister in Colorado and headed east. We had a great time at Lake Katherine in Palos Heights. God has been good! I am healthy and have His joy! God Bless!! Workplace I planned on working at Pac Bell for just a couple of years to get us over the hump from our move from Las Vegas to Santa Clara. 22 years later I retired and so did my husband, Chuck. He was a lineman in SJ Construction (called him the 'old man') and I was Cable Manager until they did away with the title of analyst. While handling all the cable reconciliation, I also scheduled the underground pulling crew around most of the Bay area. During m...Expand for more
y last couple of years before retirement, I was asked, as a staff clerk, to do the reconcilliation of cable again because it had been neglected and it needed attention. Because I really liked that type of work, I did. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Pac Bell and still keep in touch with many with whom I worked. In 1994 I began volunteering with the Las Cruces Police Department. Next year I will celebrate my 18th year working in the Evidence Section... almost enough time for a gold watch! It's challenging and I really enjoy the "kids" I work with. I also am a "pink" lady at the hospital and sing in a Senior chorus at various nursing homes once a week. It's almost like working except ... I don't HAVE to be there if I have something else I need to do. God is still blessing me!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's now 2012 and I am still here! Our Chorus wil be starting up in September and we're ready!! I did attend the 2008 Panama Canal cruise and had a great time. Since then I've been back to the Chicago areamany times, visited Nashville and spent a long weekend in the Portland OR area. Don't know what the next move will be, but, I think I'm ready for whatever God has in store...just not sure I am ready for a move back to the Chicago area... Since it's 2012 and I have celebrated my 80th birthday, I don't know what is ahead. I now have 14 great grandchildren - can't keep up. I aways enjoy going back for visits - usually driving. I lost some luggage one Christmas and so I* try not to go back at that time of year. My sister and I try to spend as much time together as possible... we have a lot of fun... I drive and she is my navigator. What fun we have and will as long as God allows. Who knows? Maybe another update one of these years.
