Jan 2012 New Note: Brokenhearted, Wilson our dog died, an accident. The unexpected hurts too much. Always had a dog and I'm a complete animal lover. Eventually get a new pomeranian once the healing is over. Sighhhhh.....

_New Note: In June my granddaughter, Macey Alysse was born to son, Jason...Good news, this kiddo has brown eyes and darker hair so maybe, just maybe she'll look a bit like me too. I'm so proud. I've been lazy and haven't posted pictures of the family yet but will one day soon (yea, right!!!). ____________________________________
I left South during the senior year, married Ken Garrett (East High), moved away... traveled far and wide, Air Force. Life was good. Sadly, marriage ended in divorce and even sadder to say, Ken died in March this year, cancer. In 1985, I married George, a green-eyed Italian from New Jersey (be nice to me... I know people), again life is good. We have 8 grandchildren, I call them "kiddos"... only one looks like me though, others are gorgeous blue eyed blondes and Italian beauties. I will eventually post a picture or two.

I've spent my working years in insurance... set to retire but having a hard time letting go... yup, I must be nuts. Live in Denver, Centennial really, love it here... Utah never called me back.

I did the Classmates thing and may have contacted a few of you. I've contacted a few West High friends and caught up with them too. I enjoyed knowing you all but my heart lies with the Riley Elementary and Glendale Jr High friends of old....... everyone split up to South & West Highs. If any of you happen to know about those old friends from West, I'd appreciate hearing.

A note to say thanks to our officers for this website. Its brought back many memories and brought contacts from a few of you already. Good job.

I was bummed because I bought my senior yearbook but moved away and never received it. Glad I was able to see everyone's pictures on this site. Again, good job.
