Wendy's Story
Life
I have spent most of my adult life, just a couple miles from Wheeling High school of which my daughter is also a new alumi. Alan & I were married @ 21 and are still together. We share our home with 2 dogs, 1 cat, and a set of parents. My folks have since retired to Fl and live with us during the summer.
I still attend Kingswood UM church in Buffalo Grove. I am a strong supported in their mission programs, having traveled to Kansas City, several indian reservations, Jamacia, Perto Rico, and New Orleans after Katrina to help out as needed. I enjoy helping people reconstruct their lives and making life long friends.
Having been pulled away from family and friends while in high school, I hold on tight to the people in my life. I still think of West Paterson as home, even though I have been gone twice as many years as I lived there. I still keep in touch with some of the friends I had back then, and wish for a Memorial school reunion.

tayed in touch with friends from WHS too. In fact ever since graduation come rain or shine, death and taxes, I get together with the same group of friends on Dec. 26 to celebrate the holidays and another year. While some of the faces have changed over the years, Cheryl C., Mary B. Tracey P. and I remain true to the cause. And for your information our door is always open on the 26th for anyone who wishes to join us.
I studied to be an X-ray tech, but never completed the training,I still went on to work in the medical field, I started as a medical assistant, a medical claims supervior and now manage 2 doctors offices in Chicago's northwest suburbs.
I enjoy baking, teach cake decorating, make care packages for Jaclynn and her friends, reading and have recently spent alot on money on decorative stamping.
I have no great fame or wealth to my name, but I am rich in friends and family and always have an open door for anyone who wishes to enter.
