Grand kids? How many? Names? Year of birth?

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Needlecrafts, photography, spend time with my family, play on the computer, explore and chat on facebook. But I really don't have any spare time since I went back to work.

What's your favorite memory of Hinkley? What's your least favorite memory?

My time on yearbook which allowed me to meet not only most of my classmates and get to know them better, but to meet others from the other classes. I feel I came out more socially connected. I also loved managing the girl's basketball team my senior year and playing in band as a freshman and sophomore.

Not finishing all four years in band, I missed so much when they traveled.

Where else have you lived?

Trinidad, Colorado
Albuquerque, New Mexico
El Paso, Texas

Do you still have family around Aurora?

Yes, my whole family and a couple of cousins. My sisters went to and graduated from Hinkley after me. My parents are now in their 70's and doing quite well despite some health issues.

Would you ever move back to Aurora?

Just moved back in November 2008 after 14 years in Trinidad.

Do you still see/talk to/hang out with any classmates? Who?

Yes, lots of them, Adele Burns Allen, Kim Keele DeJong, Paula Sullivan Joerin, Paula Roth, Karen Ball Campbell, Chuck Brightly, Jim Caputo, Belinda Cullen Black, Tamara Harding Edelman, Mary Martin Miller, Bryant Gulde, Jim McGaugh, Dave Paris, Miles Dishmon, Nancy Marsh Austin, Tammy Johnson, Jeanne Ellison (Class of 79) and many more on occasion.

What did you always want to do that you haven't done yet?

Teach school, be a professional photographer and photograph celebrities, travel to Europe or travel around the world.

What are the high points of your life since high school?

Got married, had my kids, and just living my life to the best of my ability and enjoying it. The job I have now at Kid to Kid is the best job I have ever had. I love the people I work with and most of the time I love my customers.

What is the farthest you've have traveled from home?

Washington, DC twice! or maybe it is New York City, that is a bit farther isn't it?

Met any famous or interesting people?

Alabama, got to get pictures with them and got a kiss from Randy Owen. Ronnie Milsap, Huey Lewis, several of the Bronco players over the years and Steve Warnier (country singer for those of you who don't know)

What would we be surprised to know about you?

I may appear to be outgoing, but inside when I have to meet people for the first time I am shaking like a leaf in a hard breeze. I don't like to be the one to extend my hand first but I will if I don't think the other person is going too.
