Quote … I can not wait to be out of here and on to something new.

Memories … the enjoyment of a few good friends … growing up in a small Midwest town

Comments … after graduation on to Cornell College in Mt. Vernon to obtain an Elementary Education degree ... after one year met husband Ron, married, worked and he finished his degree.

We have two children; Rodney in Iowa City, Ruby in Rock Springs, WY … both are married ... two grandchildren Matt & Emily Sparks in Iowa City ... Ron's health failed early in our
lives; we've moved about the country many times trying to
locate a place where he survives the best ... the warm dry
climate of AZ is the place.

My career developed into Law Enforcement Communications Operator for most of my life, plus several office positions to fill in the times when we were on the move.

Presently I am President of a Christian Woman's organization & Deacon in our Presbyterian Church … these challenges keep me very busy ... Ron & I still travel by car as often as possible to visit friends & family.
