I attended Cedars of Lebanon School of Radiologic Technology in Los Angeles from 1966-68, then worked in the medical imaging field as a Radiologic Technologist and Ultrasonographer for approximately 30 years. I was employed in hospitals, clinics and medical offices in the greater Los Angeles area before venturing into the world of entrepeneurism as co-owner of Sonographic Diagnostic Service, Inc., a Mobile Ultrasound Service.

In 1986 I sold my half of the company to my business partner and Tom and I moved to Madera, Ca. where he accepted a position as Sales Manager in the Fresno branch of Minarik Corporation.

I joined Avon Products, Inc. as an Independent Sales Representative in 1988. I enjoyed that challenge for six years and then accepted an increased earnings opportunity as a District Sales Manager with Avon, until I retired in 2007. I can't believe I've been retired for five years already. It really is true that time flys when you're having fun!!

Tom and I will celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary in July. We love living on the Central Oregon Coast and only have a five minute walk to the beach. Our hobbies include beachcombing, gardening and playing on our computers. We also enjoy reading, watching movies and favorite TV shows. We have four "furry kids", two cats and two dogs. They have the run of the house and yard and all have unique personalities.

Our new truck and camping trailer come in handy when we travel up and down the coast to visit family and friends and for any other spur of

We are both enjoying retirement since Tom ended his 38 year marathon job in June... now it's fun fun fun all the time.....except for the never ending projects around the house and yard...you know, they'll never ALL be finished.

I will be attending our "50th" reunion. Hope to see everyone then!

The one story I can't seem to forget is when my Geometry teacher told me that If I promised never to take another math class he would pass me so that I could graduate. I have kept that promise!... AND my lack of math skills didn't seem to hold me back.
