Elizabeth's Story

Life I have lived in Idaho for the past 43 years and taught at Northwest Nazarene College for 14 years. I have 2 grown children and 5 grandchildren. I retired, June 30, 2011, as the Executive Director of an International Humanitarian Organization that ships medical supplies and equipment to hospitals and clinics in Devloping Countries. I was married for almost 54 years, he passed away in the spring (2019). We enjoy our involvement in helping others, traveling, bird watching and our church. It has been an exciting adventure. I never dreamed 60 years ago when we graduated from BHS what life would hold for me. I have been so blessed to be able to serve others for most of my working years, have the opportunity for a good education, thanks in part to what I learned at BHS, a great family, and jobs I have loved. I have traveled the world, but look forward to other adventures, seeing old friends, making new ones and volunteering. The time spent at BHS will always be remembered with great fondness. Well, life goes on! I did retire and was blessed with a great celebration in August after a June 30th retirement in 2011.. BUT, I went back to volunteering where I worked for so long.

ight as well make good use of my time. I did the quilting thing for a couple of months, worked on family history, and cleaned all the nooks and cranies around the house and decided that my time could be better spent. I was so sorry that I had to miss the reunion. A couple of friends shared pictures and stories which only made me wish I had been there. But, can't do everything. Keep on keeping on! Beginning in February 2011 I was rehired to work on International Shipping of medical relief goods. That meant I did not have to take responsibility for everything else, work part time and still enjoy other options. I decided when I hit 70 it truly was time to let others handle the load and I stepped away. I still stay very busy with mission work at church and have since led two work trips to Australia and Hawaii which were great experiences, hard work and lots of fun. Oldest grandchild received his PhD in Medical Physics in Richmond, VA and we were able to share in that great event. Saw Marlene and Rick Charles from BHS friends when we are in the east in May of 2018 and now that Grandson and family are headed back to Idaho to take a job at our local hospital with a Great Grandson.
