Margery's Story
There have been many varied chapters to my life since MVHS. I recently retired after helping to create and sustain an Alternative School for 28 years. We were committed to the understanding that all children are gifted and talented, and took seriously the job of helping them to discover and develop those gifts and talents. It was a wonderful, rewarding career. I taught just about everything overt those years, but my specialties were Drama, Algebra, and History through Drama. I am still doing some tutoring with students who struggle with 2nd grade math.
About the same time I moved from the house in North Seattle I had lived in for 28 years and bought a sweet little 1919 house a block from the beach in two directions on Alki Point. I don't have a water view, but I have easy access. I am grateful every day for living here. I walk the beach often, and entertain friends at the firepits sometimes.

I am extremely involved with family. I love all the time I can get with my siblings, Dan, Dave, and Mary Ann. I also love the time I spend with my son Ali, 31, my daughter Wren, 29, and my 7 grandchildren. Since they are in the Seattle area with me, I spend more time with them. We all love to dance, eat together, take trips together, go to Reggae Festivals, and spend time in the sun and at the beach. I am even friends with many of their friends.
I have begun a new career as an entrepreneur working as an Independent Associate with Prepaid Legal Services. It is a very different life than teaching, but I really like it. I work when I want to, spend time talking with people (always one of my favorite things), show them information about a wonderful service, and then sign them up if they are interested. Very simple, except the part about remembering to work it when grandchildren are calling!
