Joyce's Story
Its so delightful for us all to have an opportunity to say Hello Again!
After graduation I went to Emory University in Atlanta with Pud Thrasher who was not only in my
wedding but my sons also. She is still
lovely and lives close by. (Graham-Eckes).
Thereafter ensued a rather gypsy-like
odyssey for many decades. Early on, I
felt I needed identity, however humble,
beyond what was expected of me as a wife of a West Point fighter-pilot, war
hero & commander's wife. If was "pre-women's lib" so I quietly created my own
life wherever I was in addition to fulfilling the duties expected of me. One highlight was living in Europe where my
son was born.....there a wee antique business was launched which was great fun...then a weathercaster in the Panhandle of Texas where I was the wife
of he commanding officer so that was soon terminated...still, it was all fun.
(Translation: there must be more to...Expand for more
life than the supporting role in a fighter pilot movie....I think of these years as somewhat of being a "camp-follower" with a sense of humour about it.) There were good life lessons for me...humbling, yes, adventurous, yes, frustrating, yes...haven't we all made those journeys in one way or another.
I arrived in Phoenix expecting to stay only a year or two...after continuing college wherever we were I stopped
expecting that next unknown assignment
and went into real estate...life has a
way of intervening, when it did I chose
to remain in Phoenix where my only child was in school and my business was
established. He went on to become an
attorney and I have two grandchildren I
adore.
I'm a realtor still with Century 21 andd a student still. Perhaps I'll even have an MSW before 80.
My love and good wishes to all of you,
my classmates, thank you for such
wonderful memories!
