Caroline's Story

College I've listed myself as a "friend" of the University of Arizona because, while I did not attend there, all of my immediate family did. My Mom and Dad before World War II, studying education (Mom) and mining engineering, later civil engineering (Dad). Mom was in the Navy during WWII stationed in Hawaii, and I've noted that on my profile too. My brother Ted attended the U of A in the mid-70s, doing first engineering and then pre-med, marrying his high school sweetheart along the way. So I'd love to hear from any genuine alumni, especially if you have or would like to visit New Zealand one day. Like myself and partner of 22 years, Ted and Kathy have now split up - we on better terms than they, or maybe we just don't discuss ourselves so openly - or harbour the spies in the nest that are the next generation! T and K's kids are wonderful & light up my life and My Space. More U of A alumni will remember brother Ted and cousin Karen, both of whom were grads of the 70s (like me, so far away). Both Brookses; I believe Karen's sister Rosalie and niece Colleen Butler also attended the U of A, as did Brother Roger Brooks, an architect in Tucson to this day, with his lovely wife Fil who owns and runs preschool education establishments (as last I heard).

rful thought, will it be boredom, alcohol or those old university vices (drinking?) (Depression, even) that will get to us & have to be fought against in our third age! Planning more fun than doing so far, by quite a lot! My early education took place in California and in Peru, South America and later in South Africa and New Zealand. I finished high school and went to university here in New Zealand, and loving this country, found no reason to leave except for holidays and visits to relatives in the USA. I've now had three careers, first in libraries and information, then in human resource management and advice, and now as a freelance artist and volunteer. I've been taking photos since age 11, and doing embroidery now for about 6 years. Recently I completed an art course, and I do the odd bit of work from time to time! I live in a picturesque old house I love, here in Wellington at the bottom of the North Island of New Zealand, and I still travel enough to see my brother, aunt and uncle, and cousins, from time to time. My brother has visited here, too. I have a blog on MySpace at Caroline200745, and you can see my photos on flickr.com/photos/brodeuse. I am proud that the pictures I posted from my Teen Pix set have brought together again many friends from my teenage years, and we hope to have a reunion one day.
