Sarah's Story
Sarah's schools include Putnam City High School, Okla State U, U of Mo Columbia. U of Calif Santa Cruz (degree, Computer Science). I graduated PCHS at mid-term, Dec of '70, and went on to college and did not attend the '71 graduation, alas (I found out how wonderful the experience was at my college graduation). I only needed 4 classes my last semester, so my Sr. year was rather one of being at PCHS in body rather than spirit. But I had attended one Putnam City school or another since 3rd grade, so I had lots of friends and memories, even if they took the Pep Club picture after I left, I now see. :) I really loved Pirate football and basketball games and those were pretty good years to be a Pirate...
After my first try at college, I became a recording engineer (music) in the Denver/Boulder area during their great 70s music boom and worked in all the major studios there, incl Caribou Ranch. Just as I was preparing to hit L.A. to further my goals, I fell in love with computers (PCs had just come out) and I switched careers. Had my own custom programming business in Houston, TX for ...Expand for more
many years, plus an Arabian horse farm (I had a horse business in OKC and some may remember that interest). I was a self-taught programmer, but waaaay after the fact, in 2000, I graduated with a degree in Computer Science at the age of 47.
I have also lived in the UK, worked for a dot.com startup in Silicon Valley during the tech boom, and installed my software around the world, including Nigeria. Now I am back in music and have an Indie record label and engineer in my home studio. My interests include (besides the aforementioned activities) guitar, astronomy/science, 3D modeling, movies, reading, social issues, cats, and of course, friends. I highly value friends and love to re-connect, since my family got transferred from OKC in 1972 and I lost my connection to a lot of my youth. But I had a lot of fun in my various travels and activities, even if they did prevent me from returning to OKC! I am thankful for attending Putnam City schools as I found that the quality of education I received prepared me well for my life.
Please say hi; a lot of you are etched in my memory forever!
