I had a lot of "lost years"after school. I was pretty wild & drank a lot.I've been sober for 25years now. I did wait until I was 21 before I started,but look out from than on!I had my son Scott in 1963. I married Sonny Skinner in 1964. divorced him in 1969. We were not that good for each other but he gave me a wonderful son,Troy.Can't argue with that! My daughter Jodie was born in 1971.Her Dad & I divorced in 1973. Well I'm not doing so good in the "love department" so far. I married again & divorced.again! In 1982 I married for the 4th time. This time to a man w/8 children,a steady job & a home in Washington.. "Get this woman out of Oregon!!" We've been married now for 33 years.Whew I FINALLY GOT SOMETHING RIGHT! I'd always worked as a bartender/waitress when I was young.I worked for a few years in Anchorage during the 70's. Very Crazy time to be there.. I worked at the Eastside,LaPaloma,& the Palomino before I moved to Wash.There I had my own house cleaning business before my husband & I started our construction company after he retired. He had worked for Carnation Dairy for 35 yrs.
. In 1991 I became a born again Christian & cleaned my life up & have been serving the Lord since. I am blessed to have had such an adventurous life & survived,& to have my children survive their crazy mothers antics.. God is good! In 2002 I was diagnosed w/breast cancer & I have now been cancer free for 11 years. Does life get any better?!!
I am very blessed to be alive as I have now lost a very dear niece to breast cancer & I have a sisterJulie who has been fighting it for over 20 yrs.along w/ a secondary liver cancer.Last yr. my cousin who lives in Payette had a double mastectomy ,also another sister was diagnosed w/breast cancer&had a double masectomy& now this year my brother Ronnie has just been diagnosed w/cancer....Cherish those you love...& tell them how much they mean to you.. ..I lost my brother Ronnie on Aug.12,2011.He died from end stages of C.O.P.D.My heart will always hurt a little..I lost my nephew Jimmy on Feb.11th of 2012.My sister Julie who fought so hard to overcome cancer lost her battle in Nov.2012. My dear sister Joyce only has her 3 grandchildren,now.We don't always understand God's plan for us but we know its all in His hands. As we get older our losses come faster,it seems.I have been sooo blessed. I was diagnosed last year with C.O.P.D & macular degeneration.,BUT God is so good!!
What a blessing it is to read & see pictures of you who have sent in pictures & did your profile.Its like meeting you all over again. I encourage all of you to do your profile & send pics. so we can see how beautiful you all are. God Bless You my dear classmates & friends.... Since I last up-dated this I have been blessed again! It seems that my ex-doctor misdiagnosed me about the C.O.P.D. After a new doctor & some extensive tests they have concluded that I never had C.O.P.D after all!! It was like getting extra years added onto my life as c.o.p.d. is a terminal disease...It looks like I will be around for a while longer which is a good thing because we are expecting 6 new additions to our BIG family!!3 more great grandchildren,a great nephew,a great niece & a great- great nephew! Does it get any better? LOL

I just loved all of school. When I was young I used it as an escape from a troubled & abusive home,but when I moved in w/ my Mom & all those brothers & sisters I had never met.,it was a joy to go to school. I had so much fun my 3 years at Ontario.They were the some of the best years of my life!
I loved Miss Petry.Not because she was such a good teacher,but because she was such an interesting person. Mrs. Johnson was funny to watch,but a good teacher.. I think my favorite was Mr. Ashby.He taught me so much abt. art & how to treat other people just by the way he treated his students. I think we were all blessed by the teachers we had,& than some were still around to teach my boys! Mr. Ashby taught art when my boys were in school & Tommy Ogawa taught my son Troy.
