My husband of 46 years was a career Navy Officer. We came to MN in 1981 and it is now "home". We retired to our piece of farmland in 1999 and I really like our country home. Since leaving Indiana in 1964 we lived in Rhode Island, South Carolina, California, Northern Virginia, Turkey, Minnesota. I do not intend to pack and move again. I've worked as a Private Secretary, Office Manager, Church Secretary and for 18+ years served as a Guardian ad Litem for neglected and abused children for the Court System in MN, and fully retired in Nov. 2010. I also worked as a Custody Evaluator, Vistation Expeditor, Court Visition and Substitute Decision Maker.
Our time in Turkey was outstanding. It was like living in Indiana in 1948-54! Of the places we have lived, Minnesota stands out as the most relaxed and friendliest. I could not believe that the snow didn't close everything down. Folks up here are impervious to the cold/snow and just keep on keeping on! I am a quilter - never met a quilt that I didn't like - a quilt show that didn't deserve a look and a fellow quilter that didn't deserve a good long conversation. I lead a group of women who like to learn the art. Keeping ahead of them is a challenge. Family, Church, food shelf, Crisis Center and hobbies take up most of my time now. The two grandchildren who live closest are a joy and a challenge!
I also enjoy getting updates on the classmates. Especially the ones I haven't heard from in years.
