Penny's Story

Got married a month after graduation to Ivan Huston, New Boston, IL, and a week later we were in Germany. Spent a grand total of 13 years there and raised three kids. While in Germany I got a bachelors degree in Adult and Adult remedial education, later I got an MS in Human Resources Training and Development and an MPA. I started civil service career working for the US Army as a medical library technician in 1977 and retired in Dec 2011 as the community outreach director, public affairs, Kirtland AFB, New Mexico. Worked at Headquarters, Air Force Space Command, Colorado Springs as deputy chief, community relations and outreach and before that, worked as an instructional systems developer for C-130s KC-135s, and C-17s in the advanced weapons instructor school. I designed tactical courses and was editor of the school's magazine. Ivan and I are both retired and are starting to slow down a bit, though I do miss flying in C-130s whenever I wanted. As I said, three kids, Brett who is retired AF and executive chef, he passed away in 2015 of cancer.

Justin is attending Angelo State University. He's working on a double major in geology and computer systems engineering, what else? I also have 3 great granddaughters and 1 great grandson.eah Bell, Still love to garden and do landscape design. Needless to say the military has been good to us and given me the chance to live in Europe and seven states. Now we are seeing more of this country, RVs are fun and we get to meet a lot of new people. If all goes well, we will be heading to Utah, Montana and Wyoming this summer. Ivan and I are about to celebrate 56 years of marriage. We're now living on a hobby farm in Bronte, TX. I finally talked Ivan into getting a "companion". He's a ginger tabby, special needs kitty we got from the local rescue. He had swimmer's syndrome but with PT and meds, he's in his terrible two stage. His nickname is the ginger assassin. We lost our Maine Coon cat a couple of years ago at the age of 21, I inherited him from my mom. So that brings up to date, 8 Mar 2023.
