Ladeana Talbot

I was a banker for 25 years. First for Western Bank in Ontario and then First National in Albuquerque, NM. Tired of that and I did 4 years for Taco Bell Corp Acttng. and then 4 yrs. with Sprint PCS. Fed up with big corprorate policies, I moved back home to help mom and Rusty out. I work at Gentry Ford, and enjoy the mindless paper work without the hassels of being part of management. I now enjoy the company of my 2 grandsons Ryan & Treven, and find myself wishing my daughter was not so much like me. But the reward of hearing "mom you were so right" from your children has rekindled my beliefs in the whole motherhod process. I now appreciate "a simpler way of life" and am glad to be back home.

The first 5 years of school, I attended at Nyssa. The first 3 years were spent at the tetherball court. I remember playing against Mark Hartley and Darrell Cleaver. I was a tomboy and held my own against the boys. I then progressed to the Barbie doll thing with J. Saito, N Jackson, T Demick and others. I remember the trips home on the bus with the Takami twins. Living between the Cleaver clan and Drapers was very interesting, even at that young age. I am looking forward to the reunion and seeing all of you again.
