Sharon's Story
Life-- The NOW picture on this profile is me, in orange, and my Mom, taken on her 90th birthday in August 2008 in CA.
I've been married twice, Gene Wood, 1963, had daughter Julie, 1965 (divorced 1975 - I moved to FL in early 76). Second marriage in FL to Mike Osborn, 1978. We met here in FL via Parents Without Partners.
I had 35 year career with Federal Government. Retired 2000. I'm currently working a part time job with Police Dept, with kids during school year only.
Enjoy travelling (been to 9 countries in Europe; Hawaii, Mexico, Washington, D.C., and many states over the years). Have 4 stepkids w/Mike and have 13 grandkids and 20 greats, & another due in Jan 2011 in NY. Had a 17 yr old grand daughter staying with us after her Mom got married again and moved up to next County. She wanted to stay near all her friends. She is great, keeps me young keeping up with her.UPDATE SEP 2011: Krysten graduated, got married, works in Dr's office & is now going to college. Her hubby, Ryan, who we consider our grandson, works at Home Depot.
Love FL , altho most of my family is still in Oxnard area. I'm very active, love amusement parks (have season passes), picnics, beach, family things, our 3 dogs,(my beloved Pluto died 7/11 he was nearly 16 yrs old) swimming in my home pool, riding with top down in my Sebring Convertible, reading, photography, dancing, love my church, avid movie goer, enjoy road trips, Facebook, Ancestry.com, tracing ancestors back to Mayflower, and also one of my great, great, etc grandma's was Eleanor of Acquitaine & g.g. etc grandpa,King Henry, e-mailing friends, and just going/doing things.
My daughter, Julie, got her BS degree from USF, & her husband has a Masters Degree (I went on to college at night a...Expand for more
fter I got married 1st time, but never got my degree). They are both teachers. .
One of our grandsons, Kody, is in Army and was injured by IED in Iraq in June 06, but doing great now with his wife and 2 kids. Oldest grandkid is 36, youngest is 8. Oldest great grandkid is 11 yrs. and youngest is 4 mo., with a new baby girl due in Jan 2011. Most live in NY (where Mike is from). UPDATED SEP 2011--
Still in close contact with 4 of my highschool pals (Glenda Boller, Judy Costa, Mary Ferjo and Bea Price), and recently reconnected via e-mail, with Ginger Graves, who was a good pal from 8th gr thru high school.
The "Now" pic is my me and my Mom at her 90th b-day, Aug 08. The "Then" picture is my Senior picture, 1958. My Mom is 90 yrs old (Dad passed away in 01) and has visited me every summer and we go everywhere together as she was very active/fit til she fell at movies in summer 06, now she has trouble with her legs & can barely walk.UPDATE: My precious Mom passed away Jan 18, 2010, will always love & miss them.
Hubby Mike is also retired and likes dining out, cooking and time with our family/pets. Well, that's the last 50 plus yrs in a nutshell. My Mike passed away Jan 20, 2013. My friend, Mary Ferjo passed in Sep 2015 and first hubby, Gene died in May 2015. Friend, Glenda Boller lost her hubby in 2015 and Judy Devries lost hers four years ago.
I've noticed some hits from Des Moines, IA schools. I only attended Lucas Elemetary in Des Moines, IA and Army Post #1 & 2 at Ft. Des Moines thru 6th grade there. Wilson Jr. High is one in Oxnard, CA. I added the other schools to try and find old classmates from my Iowa days. I also added Santa Clara because I had so many friends there. Hope to hear from some of you too. Sharon
