Comments:

After graduation from Schurz, I continued working in downtown Chicago for a couple different firms—one accounting and the other insurance—did office work. I got married in 1961 to Robert Marema, and moved to Forest Park, IL. I started my long career as a waitress at Pines Steak House. My first son, Scott was born the following April. We moved in 1964 to Woodridge, IL., buying our first house. I continued waitressing, first in Lisle, then at Andy’s Steak House in Oak Brook Terrace, where I stayed for 19 years. Our 2nd son, David, was born in 1966. I spent the next 10 years being a working mom, involved in little league and all the other mom things. Unfortunately, my husband and I went our separate ways in ’76. I remarried in 1977 to Richard Skrydlak and moved to Downers Grove. My eldest daughter, was born in 1978 and Heather in 1980. We moved to Chatham, IL (a suburb of Springfield) in 1990, where we lived till 1998. After our daughters went out on their own, we traveled for a few years thru the SW part of the country in a 5th wheel RV, ending up in central Mexico, where we had purchased a home some 5 years previously, but had rented out to someone else. We had intended to settle there, but I wound up back in the good old U.S. and he’s still there. Such is life.
So I’m back in the general area of my kids. I live in La Grange Park, IL. as does one of my sons, the other lives in Lombard. My daughters live in Woodridge, IL and the other further away. I have 6 grandchildren, 2 around here - David (20) & Emily(7)), 1 in OK-Nicole (15), and 3 much further, a 12yr old boy, 6yr old girl and 3 yr old boy. I look forward to school breaks when I get to see my grandchildren most often. When Nicole comes to visit in the summer, she, her dad and I hit all the fairs, tastes, tourist attractions & waterparks that we can. Also go to a lot of places with Emily, who visits me most often. And on occasion I even get to travel to visit the ones further away.

Otherwise, I live alone and spend a good part of my spare time on the computer. I am involved in freebies, a lot of surveys, and sweepstakes. Have to make some money somehow, since the old U.S. government isn’t exactly making me wealthy. I don’t have a car, so spend a lot of time walking here and there and try to do some inside exercising as well. Roberta Skrydlak (nee Moberg) previous marriage-Marema.

Bobbie,
How nice that you live close to your children and grandchildren. I have six, also, but the closest is two and a half hours away. The furthest is a little over four hours away in Iowa, so we miss a lot of their growing up. I hope you are staying well and wish you the best.
If, scratch that, when we get to have another reunion, I hope that you can make it. (Me, too, for that matter).
Happy Easter and Happy Birthday.
Gordon
