Thelma Cramer:  

Life My husband Carl and I have lived in upstate central New York for over 30 years. He is a retired Air Force Senior Master Sargeant and also retired from upper managment at a bus manufacturing company. After doing consulting work for 2 years he's now the Operations Manager at another manufacturing company. Sometime soon he'll finally retire for the last time. I worked for 20 years as a secretary but withdrew from the work force to stay home and be happy - which I am. We have 2 children. Tim is 46, lives in San Francisco and works in the construction industry. Michelle is 39, lives here in Westmoreland with her husband and works for an insurance company. They adopted a lovely little girl who they named Ellen Noel (or Ellie)and we are all lavishing her with love and care. She was born 2007. Until she started Kindergarten I watched her everyday and we played out on her swing set whenever possible and went to "Rough N Tumble" to play on the jungle gym they have.

She is 6, LOVES the water, and can do flips off the side of the pool which we are in every day that it's warm. I am also the grandmother of a lovely 19 year old girl named Ashley Tonya.

She's been back in Houston for 4 years now so I haven't seen much of her, but she gets lots of cards and gifts. In 1999 we had an in-ground pool installed and have lots of fun during the summer. In the winter we used to snowmobile on the trails of Old Forge, NY, but gave that up to our neuropathied feet. My daughter showed hunter/jumpers on the quarter horse circuit for 17 years and went to the Youth World Quarter Horse Championship Show twice, the second trip winning an 8th out of 66 entries in Hunter Hack. We still have Fox and will continue to care for him until he passes on. He's a wonderful guy who is now over 30 years old. Although I never graduated from any college, I've attended several, most prominently Utica College of Syracuse University where I'm considered a Sophomore.
