Brenda's Story
Life
Right after graduation I went to school for further key punch training. That is how I spent my first summer right after school. That September I married Craig Cook class of "70".
I completed my keypunch course, but was unable to find a decent job. I wasn't going to be 18 until the following March. Companies were reluctant to hire a 17 year old that was already married.
From that point on I held numerous part time jobs until my oldest daughter was 9 months old. That is when I got interested in nursing. I didn't just want to jump into going to school and have it turn out to be something I couldn't do. I applied for Columbia Hospital's nursing assistant course. After 8 weeks...Expand for more
I completed the course and was hired by the hospital. I continued to work there for almost 9 years. I wound up having to leave there because of my divorce and child care problems.
My second daughter was born October of 1981. I remarried January of 1988 and had my last daughter August of 1989.
Mark Crabbe, I remember you all too well. I had a terrible crush on you when we went to Fratney together. I also remember us having lunch together one day at my house. I never knew that you were interested in me as anything other than a friend. I have always been attracted to blondes with blue eyes, perhaps if I had been made aware of your feelings both our lives would have been different.
