exing here and Craig works for a company called XTO. We are both temple ordinance workers in the Vernal Temple and love it.
I always wanted to be a nurse when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were right. I have not registered as a nurse but have had the privelege of working in several areas of the health care field.
Recently I heard that Vickie Buchanan had died. We were good friends in grade school and I recall one summer when we were in grade school going up to the old Eagle elementary school and climbing up the excape slide to the top floor and into through the window. We scared ourselves so badly that we took the fast route down the slide and ran to her house.We convinced ourselves that we had seen a man up there!!!
My first job was at Quongs, where I got paid very little to pick strawberries.. What I remember most about it is that I got a 'Neopolitan tan. I had a sun burn (strawberry) on my upper thighs and a brown (chocolate) tan just above my knees and was white (Vanilla) on my knees from kneeling to work. My legs were white where they couldn't get sun..
