Cynthia Gehman

Play outside, board games like Scrabble and Backgammon, travel, read/write, walk/jog, garden, hot tub, wine/beer tasting and hanging out with friends and family.

My favorite memory is the rope and the bridge where us hooligans would hang out and act stupid.

My least favorite is the fight I got into with Donna in the cafeteria just before she moved.

A funny story is that the Lucas kids, including Rick Lucas, Ted Lucas and Brenda Lucas have been my step siblings for over 30 years now. His mom and my dad married about 6 years after my parents divorced. It's funny because I remember having a crush on Rickie in Jr. High at East.

I lived in California for 12 years which is where I went when I dropped out in 10th grade.

We lived in the turquoise house on the canal right down from Hinkley. Mom and Dad divorced way back then, but they both live in Aurora not far from each other. Dad and Hanna live in the same house off Alameda and 6th Avenue where the Lucas family was raised. My mom sold the turquoise house on the Highline Canal but has a condo now off Chambers and Alameda. We are all like one happy family at holiday parties and get togethers.

All the time since both my parents still live there.

No. Can't say I would. I like it in the foothills of Littleton too much.

I just recently hooked up with Lynn Conner again and Rick Lucas is my step brother.

I always wanted to own a horse that I could ride every day.

I moved to California in 1978,when I was 16, after dropping out of Hinkley and William Smith in the 10th grade. As some of you know, those years were difficult for me at home and I was into things I shouldn't have been doing. Anyway, all that changed when I moved to California. I stopped the bad behavior and buckled down. I went back to school, earned a GED, met a man whom I married (divorced 11 years later), worked in a stock brokerage firm, went onto Jr. College where I graduated with honors and an AA degree. Then, I continued my education after working a few years and earned a BA degree in Psychology from Cal State Long Beach. With a college degree in hand, I woked as a counselor for run-away teens and battered women in Hermosa Beach, CA. In 1991 I moved back to Colorado due to termoil in my marriage. After getting divorced and working as a Social Worker for several years, I went back to school yet again and started my own massage therapy business. I worked for the Colorado Athletic Club for several years before opening my private practice. About six years ago I decided I needed a "real" job with benefit, I started working at the Golden facility for boys where I became a teacher through an alternative licensure program. Now, that's what I do. I'm no longer at the juvenile facility, but still teach Special Education. I'm in between jobs right now, but substituting in Jefferson County and hopefully for the City of Littleton very soon. Anyway, I never remarried and never had kids. That's the sad part, but I bought a house in 2004 where I live happily with my cat and hot tub on 3/4 of an acre with a wild life preserve running through the land. I have 3 nephews whom I adore and I'm very close now to all my siblings including Sherilyn, Mark and Christy. All four of us remain very close to both my parents and Hanna (my step-mom and Rick Lucas' mom). I'm healthy and happy and looking forward to reconnecting with people at Hinkley who might (or not) remember me.

Traveled to London and the districts around it to hike the walking paths with a boyfriend about 15 years ago.

I've met Chancy Billips when I worked at the CO Athletic Club on Parker Road. I also met Lance Armstrong's girlfriend and best guy friend. I met a Rockies player (I think Lansing was his last name) when I became his massage therapit. It was all over the news papers that he threw his back out when he sneezed just before he started coming to me to help him with back pain. That was pretty funny.

In California I was frequently mistaken for Goldie Hawn in public places. Several times I was even stopped for photo shots. I don't look like her much as I've aged, but it's fun and funny to remember that.
