Comments:

I met Chuck, my future husband, just after Roosevelt graduation. He was a Californian, living temporarily next door. I started college at St. Olaf. At the end of my sophomore year I transferred to UCLA and moved to Caifornia. We were married on Oct. 12, 1963. I graduated from UCLA in January 1965 with a BA in mathmetics. I joined my husband in the computer field as a programmer. He was an Electronic Engineer. We lived in the Orange County area of Southern California for 18 years. In 1971 I quit working and we adopted our first daughter, Karen. In 1975 we adopted our second daughter, Kristin. In 1983 we moved to Northern California and have since lived in the East Bay near San Francisco. I was active in PTA and Girl Scouts with my girls. In 1989 I returned to the working world, again doing computer programming. I retired at the end of 2005. Now I spend time sewing, gardening, reading, and enjoying my grandchildren.

School Story:

I remember speech class with Mr. Osterhus(sp?).
He wore a hearing aid, which we all suspected he turned off during our speeches. The class was in the 'new wing' on the first floor with large windows. I remember a couple of the guys would sneak out the windows when Mr. Osterhus was not looking, run to the little store on the corner and sneak back in with candy, ice cream, etc. for whoever gave them money. Then we would hold the treats under our desks and eat them when he turned his back to the class! Was anyone else in this class who remembers this?

Linda, I am so sorry to hear about your mom :( She was such a gracious lady, always smiling. I remember seeing her almost every morning, when Karen and I would pick you up as we walked to school. Also special memories were when I would visit home and the three of us would get together with our mothers for lunch. Those were cherished times! I know you will miss her a lot, as I miss my mother. We were very blessed to grow up with such loving families and wonderful friends. The memories are all very positive!!
Don't know when I will next get to come back for a visit, but it sure would be fun to get together!

Happy Birthday, Linda (a few days early). Hard to believe how old we are getting!! But we are still kickin' !! I now have 2 great-grandchildren and they have just moved, with their parents from California to Fargo!!! (They have no idea what is coming for them this winter!!!) So next time we are in Minneapolis we will probably have to make a trip to see them (if they survive)! Anyway, have a great birthday :)
