What have you been doing since graduation.

Professionally speaking, I graduated from Adams State College with a B.A. in 1967. My first teaching job was as a first grade teacher in Del Norte, CO. Then my family and I moved to Scottsdale, AZ in 1969. For the next thirty four years I was a Media Specialist at Tonalea Elementary School. I received my M.A. in Education degree from Arizona State University in 1974 and then completed extensive post graduate work. Working for Grand Canyon University for three years completed my career.

In my personal life I have had the joy and challenges of raising four children. Al of my children were born in Alamosa. That's where our roots are! I became a grandmother at 39 and now have six great grandchildren!

Since I retired I am cherishing the time that I am able to spend with family. My hobbies/interests are traveling, reading, going to the theater and, in general, having fun!

We lost another one of our classmates recently. Jane Trogdon passed away on January 22, 2025. There is more information in the Valley Courier newspaper (published in Alamosa).

I have a lot of fond memories of Loretta throughout the years. When we were in high school we spent time "dragging Main Street". AHS didn't have a girls' PE class,so some of us from different grade levels got Acheson's Attic to sponsor us in a bowling league. We were lousy bowlers, but had the most fun! Once we got married our families spent time together in Colorado and Arizona. In later years when Loretta had so many physical challenges she still had a positive attitude, amazing strength and a great sense of humor!

"Johnny" Walsh lived a block away from me on San Juan during our junior high and high school years. It seemed like every time I walked by his house on my way to Main St. to go to a movie, shop or have a cherry or lime coke he would suddenly appear and give me a bad time about what boy I was interested in or to tell me a couple of jokes. We'll all miss him and his personality.
