Frances A. Hunt Schmahl

Married after graduation, stay at home Mom with 5 children. Later worked as Receptionist, Cake decorator, and finally Security Specialist... Lived in Alaska for 3 yrs, then Oregon for 2 yrs, Kennewick for 16 yrs and the other 28 yrs here in Seattle. Had a very happy marriage, married to my best friend and still miss him!! My family have all remained close and I love to have them all together, it is a big crowd now!! Retired and love to travel with friends. Cruising especially!

I moved to Seattle for my Sophmore year. I came from a very small school in the Yakima area, Moxee High. About 250 total, students, staff and even the bus driver/janitor. So I was totally lost for the first few days. My first day at WS was a couple of days after school had started, I could not find my locker... the bell rang and the halls filled with students, and 5 minutes later they were all gone... I finally went to lunch... found my next class and what do you know?? They had 2nd lunch!!! WHAT??? More than one lunch time???? Once I got aquainted with a few friends, I enjoyed my years very much.
