Marjie's Story
After pursuing several courses of study in college and trade schools, I decided to move to Tahoe and work in the casinos. I worked as a slot mechanic/electronic specialist for Harvey's Resort Casino until the bombing in '80, then ended up in Carson City, after many moves, living there for 18 years. I am, now, retired due to disabilities, living in Magalia, CA.
I have 3 wonderful children whom I raised by myself. My daughter, Fawnia, graduated from UW 2002 and is still in Seattle with my 1st granddaughter, Mya. Lara and Joey live in Carson City with my two other grandchildren, Harmony and Dorian. My son, Brian lives with his girlfriend here in Magalia.

as unable to find financial "sponsors"...ha ha! I remember semesters at West Valley College, both the Saratoga campus and the old Campbell campus. I rode my 10-speed Purple Pugeot back and forth, stopping sometimes to sample wine at Paul Masson Winery in between classes. I took some classes at De Anza, also, but never finished getting a degree. Later, much later, in 1991 I entered Western Nevada Community College to pursue an AAS in Electronic Technology. My passion continues to exist, however raising my 3 children alone, with no help, and working far too long in the gaming industry repairing poker/game machines wore me out. So, I never achieved my PhD in Neural Networking/Cybernetics, as planned...LOL
