Barbara Burke (McDowell)
I was one of the statistics cited in the "Ladies Home Journal"
April 1959, I married that year so contributed to Catalina being
the #1 school in the USA for students that married in High
School. I was supposed to graduate with you all but had 2
daughters in 2+ yrs. So I ended up graduating in 1962 at
Rincon. I still feel like one of this class, though. I had a son in
'66 and divorced after 30 years in '91. I am semi-retired, living in
a great 55+ mobile home park with many activities. My health is
not too good, but I get by. I have 3 cats who keep me company
and am a Karoke nut. I have almost 300 Karaoke discs and
@4500 songs in my collection. I also like to paint a little when I
can. I telecommute for work, so don't have to go out to work,
which is very nice and saves oodles of money on clothes and
gas. I am the Grandmother of 3 and my oldest Grandson
graduated from college this year. His mother is older than I am
now, she turned 50 this year. I wonder how that   happened? I
hope you all enjoyed the reunion and am sorry I can't get away.
I will be there in spirit.
