Delana's Story
School
Hi there!
Wow, where do I start. I guess I will begin with my Richfield years. I attended Richfield School from my 3rd to 8th grade years, with the exception of 6th - my mom died and I went to live with my Aunt for a year. Back then Richfield was a four room school. We had 3rd and 4th grade with Mrs. Brown, 5th and 6th with Mr. McBrayer, and 7th and 8th with Mr. Steffans. I have a lot of fond (and very interesting) memories of my "Richfield Buddies" - Hey guys, how are you doing? I say guys, because for the most part, I was the only female amongst a slew of boys, including Dan Darrow (I miss you Dan), Donny Babb, Pat Harris, Troy Grootvelt, Scott Rindahl, Rick Smith, Marty Miaocco, Bob Paddock and a few others that moved away before high school. I also remember classmates such as Doris and Betty McGee, Jeff Johnson, Lenny Scromm, Cliff Carter, and Tina Hendrix. Those were the days! I was quite the skinny/shy/nice girl back then. Didn't get into a whole lot of trouble, but I sure enjoyed standing back and watchi...Expand for more
ng the many interesting and daring situations that some of my classmates got into.
Then there was high school. Good ol' Corning High. I was so skinny in high school that I acquired the nickname "Bones." If I remember right, I have Troy to thank for that one. Thanks Bud! As shy as I was in my elementary years, I was even shyer in H.S. There were just so many people, and they were so "experienced" at least that's what I thought. I did have a lot of friends, (Hi Robin, Hi Debbie!) just not much of a social life, which was mostly my fault - I was so afraid of the boys, that I spent most of my time picking on them. None the less, I have many fond memories of high school and would not trade them for anything. Go Cardinals!
Workplace
Hi everyone. FYI - After working thirteen years at Gerber School as a teacher's aide, I went back to school and acquired my teaching credential. I am now back at Gerber School as a first grade teacher. I love my job and look forward to a lengthy career in teaching the little ones.
