Patty's Story

Hi! I'm on Facebook and MySpace sometimes (my profiles are works in progress), but I have a friend who is connecting with many old classmates using this site, so here I am. I would have used the Timeline, because my story reads like one, but this seemed easier. I've been in Fort Myers, Florida teaching in the local district of Lee County for the past 12 years. A beautiful vacation, spring break spot to say the least. This could be why this is the longest I've ever lived anywhere since graduating. I have one son who is wonderfully smart and sweet. He is in the 3rd grade at the school where I teach. I've gone green so we bike to school instead of drive and we spend lots of time outdoors, swimming, and sharing time with friends. I live in a neighborhood with many of the teachers I work with so I have a wonderful community around me. I've been wondering where some of my classmates from GlenOak are and what they are doing. I would also like to connect with Kent State classmates, as well some Air Force buddies from Norton AFB and friends from overseas. After teaching in California with me awesome people, I took a job wth the Department of Defense Dependents Schools. My first assignment was in Fulda, Germany. What an adventure. I never did the backpacking Europe thing after graduation, but I more than made up for it in Fulda. After Fulda, I moved to Keflavik, Iceland and taught 2nd grade for a year. What a place. 6 months light, 6 months dark. Then I moved to Pusan, Korea where I taught 3...Expand for more
rd and tutored Koreans in English. I love kiminchi. After that, I spent a few years in Japan and would love to return. Beautiful temples, gardens, and sushi places. Now, I'm in Florida. I just got back from a 20 mile bike ride to Fort Myers Beach to meet some friends and enjoy the last bit of summer vacation before a new school year starts. I teach 3rd grade and can't wait till retirement. Best to all. Patty I left Ohio after a year of Graduate School at Akron University, and moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I took a job teaching in San Bernardino, CA. I lived and worked in CA for 3 years, and joined the Air Force Reserves for 6 years before moving to Fulda, Germany to teach 5th grade on an Army post. (During the time the Berlin Wall came down) From there I made lots of friends and traveled Europe. Then I moved to Iceland and taught 2nd grade, while living on a Navy Air Base before moving to Pusan, South Korea. I loved Korea and traveled a good bit of Southeast Asia, Kenya and the Amazon before moving to Iwakuni, Japan. I fell hopelessly in love with Japan, but missed family and friends in the states. I left the Department of Defense Schools and moved in with my sister Ellen Healy (now Casari, who graduated from GlenOak in '78), then took a teaching job in Fort Myers. I've missed every class reunion, so here I am, wondering if I can connect with some old friends who may be near or far. Drop me a line. I'm pretty good about communicating. Would love to hear from you. Patty
