Marjorie Bartosovsky:  

After graduating from Roosevelt in 1964, I went to work for Prudential Insurance Company for two years. In the summer of 1966, I went back to Connecticut where I was born, thinking I would like to live there again. I stayed for two months and decided California was where I wanted to be. I met my future husband in the fall of '66. He was a student at Fresno State. We were married in '67 and our first daughter was born in 1968. We moved to Tranquillity, Ca., where my husband taught and coached at the high school. I began college in 1970, graduating in '74. At that time I was pregnant with our second daughter. In the summer of '75, we moved our family to southern Idaho. We built our home in '76. We had two more beautiful daughters, one in '77 and the last in '80. I was a stay-at-home mom until 1982, when I went to work as a reading aide. In 1987, I finally began my teaching career, spending the next 16 years in the first grade. In 2003, my husband and I retired from education due to some health problems. We now spend most of the year in Idaho as his mom and mine are both in their 90's. We have added four wonderful sons-in-law to our family and seven adorable grandchildren ranging in age from 11 months to 11 years. In the summer, we go to our cabin near Glacier Bay, Alaska to fish and enjoy all the wonderful wildlife and beauty there. We try to spend three weeks in California visiting relatives and friends in the spring. I love photography, music (oldies, some country, gospel, pop and classical, watching good movies, traveling, camping and any time spent with family and friends. August, 2011 As I was looking over my profile, I realized I needed to update some information. We now have eight beautiful grandchildren ranging in age from 10 months to 13 years. They are so much fun and live only a few hours away. This summer we were fortunate enough to have two of our daughters and their families visit us in Alaska. We are home now and just celebrated with my mother on her 94th birthday. My husband's mother turned 95 earlier this month. What a blessing they are. The last two winters we have traveled to Arizona for a couple of months. It is so nice to get away from the cold and wind in Idaho. We are enjoying good health at the moment and are thankful for that. Hope life is good for you, too. July 7, 2012 This spring and summer have been filled with doctor and therapy visits. Marvin's mother was diagnosed with liver failure in April and passed away June 22. We will miss her so much, but know she is in a better place. She was 95. Marvin had rotator cuff surgery on May 30th and is undergoing therapy three times a week. We are usually in Alaska this time of the year and we are really feeling the temperatures in the 90's. We're hoping to go up early in August, depending on what Marvin's doctor says. We have enjoyed spending more time with our kids and grand kids. Hope you all are having a good summer. Well, we made to Alaska on July 30th, with our daughter and two grand kids. Had a little trouble getting the water and electric up and running, but everything is working well now. We've only had two days of su...Expand for more
