Peggy's Story
I always wanted to be a math prof when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a nerd idea. As it turns out, they were right.
Soak in the jacuzzi, play soft music, find someone to share it with.
Surprisingly, I have no steam.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have Starbucks, friends, and support to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
My grandparents. They were real heroes.
I lived in Tremont and Forest City before moving to Rolla, MO to work on my education. I then took the kiddos with me to college and had a great and productive time. Graduated at the top of my class and was elected as Student Marshall for graduation. I have spent most of my time in educational institutions!
Later, I moved to Mesa, AZ as my parents were there and my kids wanted a new venue.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Rosemay Schwenk, because she was a real friend..
I love my Chow Chow, Fritzi. I have two new grandaughters and they are the apple of my eyes. I also enjoy seeing my three boys and their wives.
I am totally into the New Age thing, am a Rieki Master and into Pranic healing.
My kids have taught me that grandchildren is the REALLY fun part.
I am truly happy. I am in AZ where I have a lot of awesome friends, where there are no bugs, and where living in easy.

hought that people my age now would be grandparents. I was so completely right.
I have working in Behavioral health for 15 yrs. Also a professional student for much of that time. Am beginning to get into nursing, my true path.
I don't think I had a crush. My dad would have killed me.
My best friend would tell you I'm compassiate and helpful, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as geek.
No Way. I dress rather conservatively--a bit boring. I could get creative, but no time for it.
Unfortunately, my weirdest job was my main job--working with Severely Mentally Ill. Counseling and other healing modalities are fun though.
Hang on to my first husband. Great guy and super family.
People at my High School reunion would be surprised that I have a Masters degree. I graduated at the top of my class; and was elected to be Student Marshal at graduation. I also edit graduate papers and theses.
My first job was at Tazwood Mental Health Center, where I got paid 5 bucks and hour to give out medications and keep an eye on the clients. What I remember most about it was when a woman called on the crisis line yelling that she had knifed her boyfriend with a butcher knife, while I had to continue to monitor the clients while they were cooking.
I had my first mystical experience when I was three. I still am enjoying them.
