Jerrilyn's Story
Life
My sister , Carleen(Class of 59) and I (Jerri Furus)(Class of 1960) entered CHS in 1958. I was Jerrilyn L. Ravenelle when I joined the USAF Nurse Corps in 1968 to 1972 during 'NAM, and became married to Don Bellows just before I left Fairchild AFB in Spokane Wash, then I transfered to MacDill ARB in Tampa, FL where I retired as a Captain.
My daughter, Melissa is married and has 3 adorable children, two boys and a girl.
I am divorced and loved and cared for Mom and Dad+ Aunt Em and Uncle Hugo from 1986 from 2000. I had a medical retirement from the VA in 1990 and stayed in Concord, NH. My family was increasingly in need of care from 1990 to 2000. Aunt Em was my only remainig family alive in NH and I loved and assisted her until 2000 when she told me that she was happy at Pleasantview Retirement Apartment and stated, " Jerri go start a new life in FL!." PV Nursing Home).Moved to Sarasota, FL. I visit my daughter and Grandchildren in Mt. Pleasant, SC frequently. LIFE IS GOOD!
UPDATE: My Aunt Em died a few years ago
Military
1968 to 1972 Capt USAF Nurse Corp stationed at Spokane, Wash Fairchild AFB, Tamp MacDill AFB 4yrs 20 days and 12 hrs...right, not. UPDATE: I have just completed a 7 week inpatient military co-ed sexual trauma progrm at Bay Pines...Expand for more
in St. Petersburg, FL. ( It was really helpful to have men , who have experienced sexual trauma in our program. We were more much alike in our traumas than I realized. IT IS A GREAT PROGRAM!! It is one of 2 programs in the USA that are geared for PTSD and EFFECTIVE!!If you still have problems with military trauma of any kind do ask your treatment person at the VA to ssend you there. Even after 42 year and at age 66, I was not always the eldest person in these programs. If you want to know more about the programs, please leave me a note at this site. I just became a gold member again so I can communicate with you. I am in a 16 week OPD program to continue to help me. I still have a very high startle, and screaming is embarrassing. I have been really isolated since 1990. Things became unbearable after another trauma in 1998 and I became a total hermit. I mt Charlie on line and he is a great guy, so loving and kind to me and helpimg me to leave the house and learn to have fun.
Update 10/2012
I am much happier now. Still living with Charlie in my new (new to me) home in Nokomis, FL just south of Sarasota. I have 2 Chihuahua's (Luci & Desi) that keep me moving, and smiling. Hope that all is well with whoever might be reading this update. Take care, Jerrilyn
