Patricia's Story
Life
Graduated KWC in 1976, BA in ElEd; WKU in 1980, MA in ElEd; Newburgh Theological Seminary in 2012, PhD in Biblical Studies
still married to first husband since 5/72.
Son born 1/75; grandson born 8/2000, granddaughter born 11/2006.
Retired from public work, repairing and upgrading computers and anything else I did for money.
Now live in Flalalalala. Something really peaceful about a Christian community.
I love Jesus.
College
From a wild start at NIU to a period of readjustment at MacMurray.... Then to finish up at KWC, and MA at WKU... followed by OJCB courses as I taught there.... I love being a student, and could have made a career at it, but don'tcha know it doesn't really pay that much. I still went back for my PhD at Newburgh Seminary. Now I’m attending Nazarene Bible College, taking classes toward ordination. If you are reading this, you are probably one who says, “What took you so long?”

P.S. My son is a doctor now. A computer scientist. Woohoo! Live through the kids!
Workplace
I think I don't like bosses or something, except Sherrill. She was pretty great. I'd have worked for her forever had circumstances allowed.
I did very much enjoy the freedom of having my own shop, setting my own hours and fees. I liked the out of office sign. Seems like I'm a lot busier with volunteer work now that I have "retired". AARP taxes, church, Camp, doing websites, mail lists, etc. to help out those who are still working or have nobody else to do their stuff.
Military
I joined the WAC for the GI Bill, and it helped me finish my BA and get my MA at no cost to me.
I met my hubby there.... Yay!!!!!
I liked being part of something bigger than myself, and would have made it my career if things worked out differently. Instead, I fell in love, got out and got married. They let us do that back then...
