Ann's Story
Life
I moved to Fairfield in 1959 from Davenport, IA after the death of my father. I have one natural sister, Joan (Mandy) Larson-Weaver and 4 step siblings; David, Melanie White-Miller, Bill, & Mary Ann White-Allen. I only lived in Fairfield 2 years before moving to Libertyville for my last 2 years of high school. Moving many times was difficult. Friends were difficult to keep.
I married a "Parson's" boy & moved to Dayton, Ohio. I lived there for 18 years. I was married for 9 years the first time.
I was married a 2nd time in 1974 to James Graham.
My 2nd husband & I moved to Lockport, NY, near Buffalo in 1984 and stayed there 15 years. We have now lived in El Paso, TX since 1999. We have 1 daughter.
I've had breast CA, diagnosed in 2002. I found in 2005 I was going blind due to Fuch's Endothilial Dystrophy. Both cornea's have been replaced. I see very well now. The difficulties have made me stronger.
I dabble in genealogy...Expand for more
and have found I could be related to several class members by marriage and/or family.
School
I entered HS in 1959, having moved to Fairfield in June of that year. I didn't like school. I had left all my friends 100 miles away. There were too many cliques. I didn't like them then & don't like them now. I was shy. Folks you don't know what I nice person I really was and am now. I'm just more outgoing. The most hurtful thing was I was not selected to help with the Jr/Sr prom decorating. I had to sit with a bunch of losers.
College
I attended Sinclair Community College where I received a degree in Nursing in 1977.
Workplace
I've been a Med/Surg Nurse, CCU, Supervisor, & School Nurse. I'm thinking about getting a refresher course and returning to part time work. I worked at St. Elizabeth Medical Center & Kettering Medical Center in Dayton & Kettering, Ohio. I was a supervisor at a nursing home & was a school nurse in Lockport, NY.
