Barbara's Story
School
Since graduating from high school, I have been married twice. My husband, John, and I have been married for over 34 years. Between John and I, we have five daughters and nine grandchildren.
Throughout the years, I have taken college courses and eventually acquired a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business from St. Mary's University.
When John and I met, he was working at the Prairie Island Nuclear Plant. In 1973, I secured a position as an engineering assistant and we became the first husband and wife contract engineering team in the Nuclear Industry. We worked as a team for over 10 years until the Nuclear Industry collapsed in the mid-1980's.
John continued working in Nuclear while I moved on to a career in real estate which eventually evolved into interior decorating. Later, when my grandchildren started arriving, I was fortunate to be able to retire and care for them.
During the past 31 years we have lived in 14 ...Expand for more
states. I have traveled to Europe, Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Also, in between, I have acquired a pilots license, sky dived, owned and operated a contract engineering company, learned how to tear down and rebuild a computer, rode my own Harley, developed and conducted a course for returning Catholics. I enjoy cooking and good wine, and am currently attempting to perfect my golf game. Another passion is researching my family genealogy. I started working on my ancestry in 1988 and have located relatives dating as far back as the 1600's.
The best part of my life is my children and my gradchildren. The lowest point of my life was when my father died in my arms.
These are just some of the peaks of my life. In between the peaks there have been many valleys. It is due to these valleys that I have hopefully become a better person...and...a whole lot wiser. Probably very similar to all of you.
