Gladys Bowman Nelson

In this last HALF CENTURY plus, I have provided daycare for five families one of which was in California one in Missouri and the others in state.

I have been employed in security services for thirteen years and will continue for as long as I am healthy and need money for little things, like food etc.

I have participated in community theater and enjoyed it . I also enjoy singing in our group at church. My Fender electric is keeping me "young at heart".Drumming used to be a "passion".

Giving birth to two lovely daughters and welcoming seven sweet grandchildren.

Newer and better relationship with the Lord. Also with my church family. I sing in a group which leads the congregation in contemporary and traditional songs.

I drew Elvis and Roger Maris as well as horses, women and flowers. Wearing blue suede shoes, I had almost forgot. Walking with Betty Erickson from high school to her house halfway around Lake Bemidji. Hey, and weighing 106 pounds! Mr. Matuseski( spelled?) eating an aspirin in Speech class. Yuck. No water either! Mr. Drummund sharing army experiences. Interesting. Class moved along more quickly then. Lipstick and magazines at a quarter each. Much better than four dollars a shot for most of them now! I have a few black and white pictures from way back when.

Listening to music a lot, and singing along with just about eveybody. Remembering when Buddy Holly died.

Riding horses with Bonnie Gladen. Hanging around with Linda Ulve and Betty Erickson.

Getting an A with Bonnie Barrett in sophomore? English. She wrote about Ivanhoe, and I illustrated it. Bet we could still do it!
