Marjorie Longsdon:  

Life I attended Immaculate Conception Grade School (1961-1969), then Union High School (1969-1973). Married a former Immaculate Conception Schoolmate (Eugene Longsdon) in June of 1973. He had transferred from Immaculate Conception Grade School after 4th grade to Cambellton Grade School and we met again when we were asked to be partners in my Aunt's wedding in 1970. We've been happily married 32 years, now! I have had jobs as a drugstore clerk (anybody remember good old McDonald's Drug Store?), I worked as a box maker and then a seamstress at Wondermaid, Co. in Washington, MO, I worked at Hazel as a seamstress of zippered garment bags, and in 1976 my first daughter was born, so I became a stay-at-home Mom. In 1980, my second daughter was born and at only 9 mo. old she started having serious health problems and, at age 1 yr., was diagnosed with 'Pre-Leukemia Syndrome' and we were told she probably would have a life expectancy of approximately 3 yrs.! The good news is that she made liars out of the Doctor's...She is 25 years old now...Expand for more
