Still here in San Jose, CA. working and very happily living alone with my two chihuahuas. I sew and build Victorian styled lamps with shades. Children all grown and happy. Grandchildren great people that fortunately enjoy their Nana. Don't travel much as walking is hard and I am still heavy. Hope all of you who are still out there are as happy and enjoying the fruit of your labor.

Jr. High was the most fun for me. At the end of my sophmore year, my parents divorced and each moved away. I stayed a while on my own living with Maddy Vernagilli until I was forced to move to Calif with my Mom for my Jr. year. I managed to work it out so I could be emancipated and return to Roswell. I so wanted to graduate with my friends, but they had moved on over the year I was gone. I started dating Jan Blackburn who was in college, didn't do much at school and worked to support myself. I had this cuet room I rented and Jan helped me get a car. We moved to CA. upon my graduation, married, had a son and divorced. My best memories are of my Freshman year at North Jr. High. I had good grades, was going steady with Jim Reed and very much in love with him. What no one knew was that my sister and I were being abused. Now that both my parents have passed on and I have as well, I use my childhood experiences for therapy purposes. I believe it makes me a better therapist. I know first hand the experience of the child, the miracle that therapy can be when done well and feel privileged and blessed when I am part of a child's healing process. I also worked with adults who were molested as children. This work is gratifying as well.
