Pamela Dylina:  

As a few know, I and my sisters got bounced around most of our growing up life. Me, I wound up pretty much staying close to Kalispell. Left a few times, but not for long. Have 3 great kids, Frank, Tammi, and Howard. I have 7 grandkids, two live here in town with their mom, Tammi. Have been married 3 times, the first, a very bad mistake. Second time, for 23 years, and the last was for 11 years. (We remain friends!) Have 3 Chihuahuas who "guard" our home! Keep busy with a part-time job with Youth Court and enjoy the kids. Other hobbies: crafts/sewing; metal detecting; some traveling; and researching my geneology. Used to raise horses with my kids, but the second divorce stopped that....Other than that, Life's been pretty good! MORE OF THE STORY In 1990, I had a chance to visit England bacause my sister, Deb, was stationed there thru the Air Force. What a treat! I was there 6 wks and it wasn't enough. The history there is so thick, and I figured out to find a bookstore before anything else, so that if I missed something in that particular town, I could always read on it later. Hindsite just did not help! I would read something and then wish I could have seen it at the time we were there! If I had the means, I would go back in a heartbeat. The country is fantastic. For me, it was almost like a past-life experience.. Then, because of Deb, again, I was in Seoul, Korea in 1994. I found a job the second week I was there and stayed for 7 months. The shopping there is mind-blowing (or was at the time. They wanted our $$, but not us there). There were literally thousands of street venders and everyone wanted our attention. Deb always believed in "going native", or getting out of the mainstream where most Americans would go, and so we saw a lot of what the others didn't see. We even lived in a Korean highrise, and we were the only "whites" to be seen. The sights were amazing from our balcony. We could see vendors selling their wares (usually dried sqid, fish, or ??) in the middle of the freeway! The congestion would slow the cars down so much that the vendors weren't in too much danger). I got to watch "new" drivers (women) learn how to drive using the parking lot below us. Deb wouldn't watch because she didn't want to watch her BMW get hit if it did happen. What a circus!!
