Vicki's Story
I now live in Van Buren, Arkansas & love the beauty of this state. I attended Grand Prairie High School, North Texas University on a full scholarship in music, Abilene Christian University & University of Arizona.
From 1963 to 1966 I lived in Japan & have taught conversational English in Estonia & Romania. Also taught at University of Volograd in Volograd, Russia with Character International.
I had three sons, Kelly, Kenny & Kurt. Kelly passed away when he was 25, Ken lives in Phoenix & Kurt lives close to Van Buren, Arkansas, which is what brought my husband & I to this area. I retired from Marketing Director at a retirement community in North Richland Hills, Tx at almost 76 years young.

erever I've been. My favorite story was when I lived in Japan. One day when I was living in Japanese housing, I went for a walk along a path beside a rice field. It was late afternoon after all the workers had gone home. I couldn't help but start singing it was so beautiful and peaceful. When I got back on the road to my little Japanese house, all of my neighbors were on the road bowing and saying "Thank you very much in Japanese." I had never met any of them. What a joy it was to know that music could cross language and race barriors so far away from home.
I have been so blessed my whole life and have many wonderful memories of my high school years at
Grand Prairie High School. Please let me know if any of you are coming this way, perhaps on the way to Branson. Would love to get together & have a good visit.
