I moved to Utah last Nov (2012), the Rockies have my soul and I knew I would land out here again at some point. I am still caring and advocating for my autistic grandson, with whom I had moved from Idaho to Olathe in 2002 to find a diagnosis and treatment. I am thankful for the help from Johnson County Mental Health, teachers in the Olathe School Diistrict, Shawnee Mission Schools (!!) and Doctors at KU Med. Here we have the support of my ex- husbands family (Rick passed last July, some classmates knew him at K-State) I dont plan to return to Kansas, but who knows how I will feel in another 5 years, I do have cousins and dear friends in the area I may want to visit. Everyone take care and have fun-it has been a long crazy journey-hasnt it?


 

Recently retired from FEDEX. Future plans include hanging out with my bride and watching a little baseball.  See yall at spring training in Surprise, AZ.  

 

Lots of great memories. Sorry I can't attend. 

Oh and the dog in the pic isn't my wife. She's no dog. This is my guide dog, Cody. It was the only picture I could find.

I have been married to my husband Mark for 42 years.  We have two grown children; Jennifer is 39 and Scott 37.  I graduated from K-State with a degree in Home Economics Education; but have never taught - instead I have been working at the same bank for 30 years.
