Catherine's Story
Life
Life takes us in so many directions but Inever would have guessed where it would take me. I have had a wonderful husband, have two great kids and have met some incredible people along the way. 30 some odd years out of high school and I still feel like I'm just beginning. After I left Vermillion I headed for Tucson Arizona with my last paycheck and a couple of friends. Since then I have worked in the healthcare field in Arizona, Florida and now Georgia. I got married in Tucson, had two kids, moved to Florida where my husband's family lived and lived there for about 13 years. Moved to Alpahretta GA when I was offered this incredible opportunity with McKesson. I've been here since 2000. Husband passed away in February 2006 from a rare brain disease. Very sudden and unnerving to say the least. Daughter graduated from college this past spring and is working for McKesson also.

em home but sometimes you just need some space. From here who knows. Being single again is a little strange after 26 years of marriage. I plan to travel as often as possible to places I've never been before. Always open to suggestions if anyone has any. Been to London and Paris. Probably head to Alaska next year. Would like to check out Scotland and Ireland. Who knows?
College
Bachelor's degree in Health Information Management from Stephens College in Columbia, MO
Workplace
After 25+ years as a Health Information Management Director in various healthcare facilities in South Dakota, Ariona and Florida I finally settled with a major software corporation. I've been working for McKesson Provider Technologies Enterprise Imaging Group as a Implemetation and Certification Consultant. For the fist 5 1/2 years I spent about 95% of my time traveling all over the country which was great and I really enjoyed it. I've cut down the travel some but still enjoy the work that I do. I expect I'll be here til I retire or they kick me out.
