Joanne's Story

I diligently ignored the "someone signed your guest book" emails for quite some time. Curiosity won and I had to see who I could find at Classmates, so here I am. I enjoy many things. I have bought and rehabbed old derelict properties. I like learning and have learned quite a lot doing this. I also enjoy gardening and creating things. My daughter's are both teachers and I like making bulletin board artsy stuff for their classrooms. I like to keep busy most of the time, whether it is working on a house, gardening, preparing for a class I will teach, or spending time with my grandkids (I have 2). My down time is spent in various ways. I went to St. Malachy during my elementary years. I hope to reconnect with some of the people I graduated with there. Honestly, I'm a fake at Classmates.

ed for 25 years and had 3 kids. I graduated with my GED in 1974 (same year I was to graduate Rantoul High). I went on and got my Associates degree in Nursing in 1981, my Bachelor's in 1994, and my Master's degree in 2008. I started my career in neurology/neurosurgery but spent 20 years as an ER/trauma nurse at Carle. I was also a flight nurse for a while in there somewhere. I have done a lot in the field of nursing. I am currently a Nursing instructor at Parkland (LPN's) and love it! I have lived around the area but left Rantoul when I was 21. I have lived in Monticello, White Heath, and Tolono. All my kids live in Tolono and are a very active part of my life. I don't plan to retire... tried taking a couple years off and found it wasn't for me. I turned into a hermit and was very bored, even though I was rehabbing a house at the time. That's it in a nutshell. I have no expectations of Classmates so we'll see what happens.
