Lorraine's Story
I'm not sure about this bio stuff. Who is really interested anyway? I hated highschool and have loved every second of my life ever since. Didn't get much college life in - and I don't recall ANY sort of college counseling at old St. Gen's. Instead, I moved to Colorado with my best friend Linda Ragosta, til I froze to death, and came back to Calif where I belong.
Had a bunch of different boyfriends and plenty of fun, but finally found the right guy when I was 27.
I've had a few interesting jobs... a former FBI agent with a high end private eye business in Beverly Hills hired me for my excellent typing skills, the president of a big investment management firm hired me for my typing and organizational skills, and UCLA School of Med's continuing education division where we produced medical conferences in fun places like Hawaii, hired me for both of those skills and the speed I pulled it off with I think.
I got married at 28 and all paying jobs ended six years later when my son was born. Our daughter came along when I was 37 and now the four of us live in a great old house 1/2 mile from the beach, which we remodeled last year and love it...Expand for more
so much, we may never leave. I started homeschooling my two fabulous kids when they started 4th & 1st grades... not for religious reasons however (I left all the religious ideas I was raised to believe in, behind me in around 2003-04). We decided to homeschool for much better social and academic opportunities - and we love it.
My husband of 19 years owns a business in the art industry and takes darn good care of us all.
That's it in a nutshell. Linda and I are still friends, although she lives in Colorado with her husband of many years, so we don't see each other often. We'd go to a reunion though if our class managed to make it happen. I even tried writing up the idea on this website, but not sure where it ended up.
For the moment, I'm being called to do a history lesson with my youngest (we're learning about the Industrial Revolution... the "spinning jenny", James Watt's improved steam engine which transformed the factory work concept, etc. - how many folks get to do that on a Wednesday?), so I better shut my fingers up for now and go check out what was happening a few hundred years ago.
I really don't have time for this stuff too!
