Hilary's Story
As friendly, kind and tolerant. Something of a leader and a pretty good flautist. If I'm remembered this way, it'll please me.
Although I went to an "ivy league" college, having gotten several degrees at this point (and married one of my profs (!) , I've come to the conclusion that it's the professor who makes for a good education, not the school. And I tell young people that all the time: gather all the dirt they can about the faculty they think they might be studying with. Then choose your school and your major.
I've never had a job I didn't like. I count 6 since my first MEd., & the 6th after receiving an MPA here at UTK . I loved all the jobs and just fell into them one after the other---never went on a job search. Retired from the GAO (where I did management auditing in Washington) before my time because of illness which forced retirement. Have replaced the job with civic & condo activity in Arlington, VA, which I can do at my own pace and which keeps my brain from turning to mush!
Don't know what year it was, but I got to go to Cumberland Falls with Judy Wolfe and her parent...Expand for more
s. Wonderful! As the middle of 5, and she an only child, we made "the perfect couple".
Oh, BTW, I married David Welborn,whom I'd known for many years via my dad and became better acquainted w/ him when I took my MPA. Dad, who was about 92 when we married, was thrilled. When the florist came to the house w/ the flowers, the phone started ringing as to whether "Mr. S" had expired!
My youngest sister fell into the neighbor's fish pond and was floating face down when mother found her. Barbie Buehler & I gave her CPR, having learned it in Girl Scouts. She survived with pneumonia and two scared parents. (this is written to 'write a childhood memory' prompt)
As of 9/11 we're back in our Rosslyn, VA condo until it's tiime to fly down for the reunion dinner. My husband really wants to go, so I hope others will bring their spouses! Beautiful autumn day today . I will spend most of my evenings going to condo committee meetings regarding decision-making on some high-ticket projects we need to consider doing in the next five years. And, if course, with every budget comes politicking! Love it!!
