Tami's Story

Life Latest Update: Well we didn't make it to Orange County. We are moving to Marlborough, Mass. We spent 9 days there during the first of December. I think I will love it. I am having to trade in my flip-flops and tank tops for very warm sweaters and water-proof boots. (Let's put this in perspsective...Oregon has an average rain fall of 22" per year...Marlborough get 44" per year...Anyone want to lend me a row boat!!) No snow yet, but I am sure I will see some before we move back to the West coast in about 2-6 years. Wish us luck and warmth. After High School I went into the Navy for 4 years (thanks to Randy Williamson who was heading down to the recruiters office...). I stayed in San Diego, CA. I then worked for Hughes Aircraft Company for 10 years. I met my husband George there and have been with him for 20 years. We have a daughter who has graduated from UC Davis with a Political Science degree and hopes to obtain a job in Social Marketing in Washington DC. Our son is in High School and on the Water Polo team and during off-season he trains with the swim team. We love to travel. We bought a timeshare in Lake Tahoe for my 40th birthday and sometimes exchange it for other places like Cancun and this year the Grand Cayman Islands. I have two horses. My daughter was in the United States Pony Club...Expand for more
for 6 years and did 3-day eventing, now we ride trails together and I still watch while she loves to jump. Hope to hear from some of you shortly. I haven't been very good at keeping in touch with old friends. I left Springfield when I was 17 and have only returned 3 times. It's been a few years since I wrote that first "bio". Our daughter is in San Francisco doing public relations for Eastwick Communcations. She is dating a wonderful man who became an attorney a couple years ago and they love to do wine tasting in the Napa/Sonoma vineyards. Our son is now starting his second year in college. He attends Cal Poly Pomona and his major is computer engineering. He has a college internship with Raytheon Company and has a darling girlfriend who attends Cal State Fullerton. My husband and I have been "empty nesters" now for almost a year. I sold the horses and took up golf. We just spent 8 days in Palm Springs where they have the most beautiful and challenging courses. We played 8 rounds of golf in 6 days...yes, that means we played two days of 36 holes. I practice yoga and still love to garden. We are on a bowling league. We have our home up for sale and plan to move to south Orange County to a golfing community. Wish us luck. God Bless and best wishes to all that read this. Well, we didn't make
