After the Blue and White I changed, as so many did, to Red and
Blue. My undergraduate days at the U of A were a combination of
learning and living. Met and married my children’s father and
moved to Scottsdale. Three of the best, smartest, most attractive
children followed. Spent a great amount of time active in
community work; am proud to have brought a great masterpiece
art program to both the Scottsdale and Chandler School systems.
Divorce came about and so did work as the Executive Director for
a six city arts fundraising non-profit. I worked in a number of
political campaigns and loved those experiences. Married a
second time and that too ended. Before coming back to Tucson I
was VP for Arizona’s largest organization dealing with people with
disabilities. I was hired to return to Tucson to work at UApresents
in 1999. Meanwhile my three children, Amy, Bill and Beth all
married, having children was the best job ever. Fortunately I have
been able to add “passport stamps” quite regularly and only wish I
had accomplished my dream of living in San Miguel de Allende
Mexico for a year. As we get close to the reunion, I am still
working as a consultant for the Pima Library Foundation and
using my professional fundraising skills to get underwriting for our
50th. We have all lived long, the important next step is to maintain
laughter and optimism. How easy it is to have laughter whenever I
get to be with any of my grandchildren.
