This 5th generation Tucson girl moved to SoCal in '64, after
graduating from the U of A, with a contract to teach 3rd grade in
Santa Ana. I got my bilingual certificate, taught 3rd - 5th
grades, and also worked as a resource teacher and mentor
teacher for SAUSD for ten of the forty years there. Turned out
that teaching was made for me! I loved getting up and going to
work for all of those years. There is nothing like the feeling that
you are making a difference and being appreciated by kids,
parents, and the District for what you do.
I got married and divorced. My lovely daughter, Stephanie,
was born in beautiful Laguna Beach in '68. She and I lived
there for 27 fun-filled years. She still does. Steph is a true CA
beach girl, but she did go to the U of A and grew to love the
desert too. I now live in Mission Viejo....not far from LB.... and
the two of us love getting together for hiking, movies, lunches,
etc.
Since retiring in 2004, I have often worked for SAUSD doing
some lang. arts tutoring, CELDT testing, and volunteering in
classrooms. They call me the "Fossil Lady"....not because I am
old!
I have also done some docent work, traveled with friends and
family (Alaska, Hawaii, and all over the Four Corner area of the
SW), developed an interest in photography, and discovered the
iMac and its wonders. :) Of course, I am often in Tucson
visiting family.....just not in the summer heat if I can avoid it!
I have been very fortunate. I come from a large, loving family
that is always there for me. I have a beautiful, intelligent, loving
daughter. I have many life-long friends that share my life and
are important in so many ways. I am looking forward to this
reunion and seeing all of you. Thanks to everyone in Tucson
who has worked so hard to bring us all together. See you
there!
