Kaitlyn (Kathy) Lydell (Lyttle):  

I was Kathy Lyttle, now Kaitlyn Lydell. Why I changed my name is too long to mention here but it's a good thing. I live in Petaluma, CA (Northern California, Bay Area) and have been in CA since 1975. I married my high school sweetheart but that ended in 1975 and unfortunately he passed away in the 80's. I don't have kids, have traveled a lot, and that's made for an interesting and unique life, but I have no contact with my family so have a strong need to connect with my past now that I am older. It took me a long time to settle into a career and "adult" life. I live with my now life partner in a cozy home with our kitty. I race cars as my passion so spend most of my time and money having fun with that, also dining out and amazing travel. I was not at all popular back at Milwaukie High so don't have old friends from there. California was okay for a long time but the people are not as friendly, the politics don’t agree with us and it's always great to get back to (Central) Oregon. I still love the scenery and openness of Oregon and wish I could live there but never could handle the rain. I try to go back several times a year as Crater Lake and other places in Oregon as the lake is still my most sacred, favorite...Expand for more
