After CHS,I graduated from Good Samaritan Hospital School Of
Nursing in 1963. The same month, August, my husband Ken
and I were married. After taking State Boards in October, I flew
to Germany to join my active duty G.I. husband. Our eldest
daughter was born while we were in Germany. From Germany,
we returned to Tucson due to the fact that Ken was assigned to
DMAFB. While I was here, he spent a year in Thailand, our
second daughter was born, and our son was born.
From 1966 to end of l971 I worked part time at TMC and mid
l972 the chldren and I followed Ken to Iceland where we lived for
20 months. From Iceland, we lived one year in Grand Forks,
North Dakota then returned to Tucson in l975 bescause Ken
was to go to Thailand but went to Turkey intead.
In l975 I began working parttime at St.Joseph's Hospital and now
work no more than 16 hours a week and Ken and I are able to
travel at will because I no longer need their benefits.
All three of our children are married. We have one
granddaughter and three grandsons; two of which are twins.
We are thankful for many blessings.
