Highlights:

Never having birth children, I thank God for bringing Bruce and his two daughters into my life. I adopted them and know the JOY of being a Mother and Grandmother!

Loved the 14 years I spent with American Airlines ... a stewardess in the 60's great job! I spent four years teaching at the "Stewardess College" and loved the challenge and opportunities afforded me thorugh AAL.

My baby book records my first prayers. That thread wove through my life and culminated in my entereing full time ministry in 2004. Serving on staff as Assoc Pastor with responsibilities of teaching and mobilizing prayer. I had the JOY of leading prayer pilgrimages to Israel and will be taking one to Berlin this fall. Love connecting people to a relationship and partnership with God through prayer.

Transferred to Marian High my Jr. year. Loved the classmates, teachers, school ... the best two years of my education bare none! I thanked my parents over and over again for the sacrifices they made to make my two years at Marian possible.

Sr. Dorothy ~ still remember her every time I make pie crust!
Sr. Veronita ~ still remember her every time I vote.
Sr. Judine ~ still remember her every time I write.
Sr. Kenneth Marie ~ still remember her Godly counsel.

Walking down the hall and hearing commotion in the office ... President Kennedy had been shot. All students gathered in the halls - down on our knees and praying corporately.

The warm spring day, study hall turned into a perfect opportunity to start our prom "tan" ... hiding on the side of the building with sock rolled down, sleeves rolled up and tie undone ... caught! Was removed from Spiritual Counsel.

My parents were on a Quiz Show and I was taken from class and invited into the convent to watch their performance. They won! Years later I was an undefeated chamption on a Quiz Show :-)
