After graduation from Sarasota High, I attended the University of Kentucky.
As a lit major, I had few options after graduation – teaching or becoming a
flight attendant were the two that appealed to me the most. Lit major -what
was wrong with those counselors of ours? I tried teaching, but that wasn’t
for me so I went to New York and flew for TWA. I married in 1969 and moved
to California with my husband who was getting his MBA from Stanford. I had
two boys and was a full time mom until my husband died of a brain tumor at
age 43. I went back to the airlines and worked until 1990. I then changed
careers and became a Realtor. I married in 1992, divorced in 2003 and
married the same man again in 2007. It truly is better the second time
around. We have 3 grandchildren, 2 nearby and one in Bend, Oregon.
My husband and I divide our time between Menlo Park and Pebble Beach. I
still practice real estate and he practices law, but we are both slowing
down a bit. We play golf and travel, walk on the beach and spoil our
animals. All in all, a good life with many good years ahead, I hope!
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in October.
