Colleen's Story

To all my friends and fellow classmates: How did we get to be 50(+) years old? It was only yesterday we walked the Orange, Yellow, and Blue Halls of Hillcrest High School; we cheered on our football team who went undefeated since our Freshman year (many of us partying relentlessly in the hours preceding those early afternoon games-some of us even doing so in our cheerleading uniforms!); we were young, invincible, naïve, and for many of us, had the time of our life. I have been living in Albuquerque since August 1980. Sadly, I maintain contact with only a few friends from Hillcrest, but hope to reestablish contact with anyone wishing to do the same. A late bloomer, I married my husband when I was 33 years old. Charlie continues to be the love of my life, my best friend, and my protector. We don¿t have any children of our own, but many cherished nieces and nephews. Further indicative of my lateness, I started college at 45 years old thinking I wanted to go to law school-I was just lacking the requisite undergraduate degree. In May 2007 I graduated from U...Expand for more
NM with a degree in Professional Writing, and, to date, am undecided about pursuing a law degree. (I keep forgetting I'm 50 and lack the stamina I had even at 45). I work for a local family-owned commercial real estate development and management company, where I've been employed for nearly 23 years as everything from Receptionist, to Property Manger, to Office Manager, to my current position as a Development / Legal Assistant. (I long for the day when I win the Powerball and can quit working.) To those of you with whom I was close, my family is doing well. My father passed in 2002, but my mother is still full of "piss & vinegar." At 80 years old, she wears me out when she comes to town (she lives in Cape Coral, FL). My siblings are relatively healthy and happy; 5 out 6 of us live in NM, and one remains in the Chicagoland area. I welcome messages from anyone inclined to do so; as I said, I'm looking to reconnect with old (not a pun on our ages) friends. In the meantime, be happy and healthy!
