I lived in Tucson until 1989, when I moved to Dallas for 4 years,
returned to Arizona in 1993 and own my home in Gilbert (suburb of
Phoenix). Spent 11 years in the healthcare industry (Human
Resources at TMC) before getting into computer industry (IBM and
Intel), and from 1996 to my retirement in May, 2007 went back into
healthcare in the area of protection of subjects participating in
human research studies. I’m loving retirement and thought I'd feel
the need to work part time, but so far I'm just enjoying the freedom
after working hard for so many years. I have two daughters,
Janeen Hawkins and Christy Hawkins (CHS ’81 and ’84), both now
married and living in Flagstaff, and three grandchildren, ages 14,
22, and 25. Still am very close with a lot of my old high school
friends .. Joyce Litvin, Judy Barnaby, Jo Ann Russo, Gail Vida ,
Sharon Hartje, Lynn Fuller, Joan Facchini (all now in Tucson),
Sandy Locke Tempe), and Jill Farris (California). Now with having
our mini-reunion monthly lunch get-togethers which started with 4
or 5 of us having lunch has now grown in a little over a year’s time
to over 20 coming each month, I drive down from Phoenix as often
as I can, and feel as if I’m reconnecting with others I haven’t seen
for a long time. Have read some of the bio-sketches, and it sure is
nostalgic...hard to believe 50 years have gone by. See y'all in
2010.
