WOW.......It is so hard to believe that this much time has passed! Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be a Mother and a nurse. Well, I am a mother but veered off the nursing path. After graduating, I went to San Diego State for a while then on to becoming a registered dental assistant. I am in the management end of it now and continue to take continuing education courses and would eventually like to consult full time. I have been in the field for over 28 years now and love it. I got married a couple years out of H.S. and had two wonderful boys. The marraige only lasted about 9 years and then I found myself raising my kids by myself when they were only 4 and 11 mo. In spite of me........they turned out to be pretty terrific young men! I am currently engaged to a wonderful man who has taken on the challenge of loving and accepting the whole me package. The third (and last) is the charm!

School was, at best, a struggle for me. I was painfully shy and didn't have a lot of friends. I did enjoy being on the swim team however. My best freinds Kathy Davis-Puckett and Donna Nelson-Ogonowski got me through Mr. Sanders biology class! I remember cutting class senior year at lunch time to go to Taco Bell then off to the beach. My heart throb at the time was Tom Massey.........what I wouldn't have given for him just to say hi! Well......back to reality, I can hardly wait for the reunion and start remembering things again!
