I went to the church right next to the school on the corner of Orangewood and Dale and a lot of the kids at Rancho were part of the youth group.

Other than all of the previous I probably coasted by, unnoticed and unseen. Started to go to Fullerton Jr College with Joanne Burns and Suzanne Armstrong.

o San Antonio Texas. It may be hot in California, but at least they don't have the humidity. Lots of tequila, a very different kind of mexican food here (Tex-Mex) but they have great flour tortillas! Since it is Texas, there are steaks galore and since we are close to the gulf, shrimp and fish. I worked for inusrance companies as a WC adjuster for about 20 years and then had a career change and am working for a large bank. I handled stock option plans and stock purchase plans. I do have my securities license, l let my life and health insurance lapse. I now work in the training department, started out as a trainer and I now write triaining material that is used nationwide; (I have wanted to write since 3rd grade!) It is not the great American novel but it will do for now. Right now my mother is living with us, my father passed 9/11/2000, my current husband Rick Lockwood and my daughter who just keeps coming back. I love dogs and cats. We had to put all of our original cats down last year and out dogs this year, the last one just last Saturday. We still have the carzy puppy, about 6 months old and fully of energy! We also have 10 cats, 3 are my daughters, the others are all rescue cats. Puppy and cats have a love/hat releationship I have taken up crochet and wood working, I do wood carving and wood burning. I enjoy both hobbies. I used to cross stitich but the old eyes aren't what they were. Well that's me and my life in a nutshell.
