Julie's Story
I can't believe it has been nearly 30 years! So here I am....
I live in Billings, Montana and have been here for 15+ years. I just started a new job providing PR for Billings Clinic which is a large healthcare organization in Montana.
I have a son (19) at University of Denver and a daughter (16) who is a sophomore in high school. Our life seems to revolve around high school sports and we laugh that our social life has diminsihed to spending time with whoever is seated next to us on the bleachers in the gym. Life is good as long as I have a padded seat.
So here is a synopsis of how I got here:
After high school I worked until I figured out that I could not meet my personal goals in life without a degree. At 22, I moved to Oregon and worked at Oregon Health Sciences University and went to Portland State University.

d married Tom Robinson, a student in med school. Tom and I had two kids and eventually moved to Montana. We separated in 1999 then divorced but he is still a part of the kids life and lives nearby.
I went back to school for my graduate degree in communication with an emphasis in public relations. I taught for a while at MSU-Billings and worked as a consultant for healthcare organizations and government/public service agencies. Recently, I just left the position of Marketing Director for a civil engineering firm. I am thrilled to be back in the PR world and the healthcare industry.
Life is good.....Montana is beautiful and the people are sincere. I miss diversity in food, ideas, lifestyles, etc. but the airport is ten minutes from our house. I love new places and new people but love to come home.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion. Looks like end of June would work well for me.
