Lynn's Story
Updated 7/8/2012:
Here's the "Class clown" years later! Ha! The photo I chose is of me and my first grandbaby, "Ajoni" which means "perserverance". He had some struggles getting here but came out 100% perfect. We welcomed grandbaby #2 into our family in 2011. His name is just as unusual--"Kiros" which means "in God's time". Wow. Can't believe I'm a g'ma. You never know what color of hair I will have next since I am now naturally ALL WHITE/GRAY!!! TMI? Get used to it-that is how I roll! lol :) I'm happily married over 30 years to Joe "Smo" as I affectionately call him. Joe used to be a builder in our early years together, but transitioned later in life to his current profession as an Occupational Therapist. He loves to rehab the elderly population especially (God bless him). We have 2 grown children and are in "empty next" mode which is OK by us!

's) but got the bug to become a teacher so I got my Masters Degree and began my next chapter at a community college in 2002. I recently "retired" from bedside nursing and will forever remember and miss my OB friends who were like a second family for over 25 years! Now I enjoy the challenge of working as a Nursing faculty--yep, a "prof" can you imagine how much fun I have with the students? :) So much for my original goal in high school to be gainfully employed as an artist aye? SMILE. Tried that in fact for a couple years out of high school but found creating for "business" vs. personaI satisfaction wasn't as rewarding or appealing and guess I needed more depth and meaning in my work world. Don't mean to sound like a Johnson & Johnson's commercial but I certainly got what I was looking for in the career of NURSING :0 !!!!
Still love people, love to laugh, love to live large. Got the best of everything right now. Health, and happiness. Wishing all good things to all my former classmates and wish you life's best, Lynn
