Life Hi, there! I graduated from Ruskin in '73, one of the "split-shift" classes - the only one that had both morning and afternoon shifts! That was a treat! Right now I'm living in Olathe, KS with my husband, Rob, dog Retro (a rescue dog beagle mix), our daughter, Kaitlyn - in 8th grade and sometimes our son, Chris - he's a senior at Pittsburg State University majoring in music performance.

I've been married for close to 23 years, although I did have a short marriage before this one. I got married right out of jr. college, it lasted 2 years, then I was single for several years before marrying again - this one has stuck! I had my kids later in life so instead of having grandkids at 52, I'm still raising mine. Oh, well. I'm okay with that! Now my husband went gray prematurely, so he's the one that they all think is the kids grandpa when we go to school functions! We're looking down the tunnel at retirement, Lord willing, possibly before we...Expand for more
