Wendy's Story

Life I have 3 girls, one was born in 65 between 7th and 8th grades. (mom and dad ended up raising her) I had another in 70 with Doug franz. Doug and I split up after 16 years. I moved to NC where my folks were and I ended up having another little girl in 89. Her father and I split up after only a few years together, then he was kill in 2002. Even though we were divorced it hurt alot. Brittani is a good kid, just trying to find her own way, her fathers death has made her a bit bitter. I went back to school in 2005 and am working hard to get that done. It is something I felt I had to do to make a better life for us, eventhough things are really tight now. I have an old 94 Ford Ranger, that needs work but I love my truck. we have fish and an Iguana. Our dog was hit by a car, and we have lost a number of other animals over the years. The man I was with from 98 to 2000, passed away on Nov. 23, 2000, I went for 5 years with out even going out. I met someone and we dated for about 5 mounths but it didn't work out. So I'm back to spending time on this computer looking for old friends from school so if you think you know me or would just like to talk about the old area, please get in touch. I have found Susie Stamp, Susan Brown, Debbie Wooten, Ellen Ng, Donna Harty, but am still looking Drema Barker, and Cathy Ford. And a lot of others I'd love to hear from. That's pretty much my life I have resently found some more old friends Mary Oliver and Sue Niess, Speedy Gonzales, they were really friends of my couisn Sharon Wood, but she drug me around with her for a while and I was going to partys and the "Shanty" with her in 66-7. we have been typing up a storm, chatching up on the last 30 some years. We know were Jenny Sullivan and Rick Hayden are but we would love to find some more of the gang. Patty Conlin, Pat Sneillings (tuma), Jimmy Dargavel, Shorty Flynn, and more, if anyone knows were any of these old friends are please get in touch with me. I would also like to find some other kids I knew back in the 50s & 60s, Drema Barker,and her brothers Gene and Robert, Kathy Ford, Bobby Steven, John Linton and all the other kids I went to Congress Heights Elem. school with. well that's my up date as of June 23th 2007 School I went to school from Kindergarten to middle of eleventh grade in D.C. the rest of eleventh grade and frist part of twelfth were in N.C, and I finished in night school in Va. my name was wendy hanger till 8th grade when I had to get married and it changed to wendy rodgers.It would be nice if some of the people checking my profile would drop me a line. I have gone back to school after all these years and I really love it this time. I have had a lot of great things happen there. so drop by and let me tell you about some of them. College I took a lot of classes back in the 70's and 80's in the childhood education field. that is the type of work I was doing then. I have 10 years of working with kid 5 and under. I really love the two year olds the best. 18 years ago I took some business classes, but didn't go any further with it. as I said before I went back in 2005 to finish what I started 18 years ago. Hopefully I will do just that in May of 2008. Workplace My first job was as a teachers aid in arl., Va. at a church, I love...Expand for more
d that job, it was alot of fun, not much money but a lot of fun. then in Reston, Va. I was also a teachers aid for the 2 year old class. When they opened the infant center, I was a care giver with the toddlers. that was a great job too. I have worked in a convenant store,on a chicken farm, in a factory and in the dry cleaners. I have worked for the same family of dry cleaner owners for about 13 years now. I quite full time to go back to school, but have helped out when needed durning the Hoildays and durning the summer. of all of them I would have to say the teachers aid and infant center jobs were the best. I love working with kids. Still loooking old friends I have been busy looking for more friends, and have had some people find me... have met a lot of good people here to.. I have found a lot of people from the base. Rhonda Hooks, Debbrah McCoy, Mike Young, Pete Shanchez and a few more.... I have also found Dale McMullen, Steve bonner,and Ron Ledbetter..

I am single with an 18 year old still home and she has droped out of school and is haveing a baby in Nov. so I have my hands full.. Summer classes start next week and I have one more class and I will have my bussiness Administration Diploma. Don't know what I am going to do with it but I will have it anyway... the thought behind it was to have the paper work and the knowledge to open my own busniess... but I don't know about that now... we will have to wait and see... My mom passed away in Feb. she finally went home to be will God and my daddy who passed away back in 1991. Daddy has always been my hero, I love and miss him very much... he is still here with me and has helped me though alot.. now mom is safe with him and know they are happy and health there... well that's my news as of may 2008. stop by and say hi...
