No siblings but I do have a "sister aunt", Margie Williams. Margie went to Sam Houston and graduated in 1960. Margie and I (except for our junior high years) attended school together. She is my closest friend

So much took place in the 3 years at Sam it is hard to focus on just one. A time I remember most is when the Lyon's club donated the large mascot tiger. I never missed another football game after that because I was dating Wayne Nolley, who was responsible for getting the mascot to the games.

Growing up. . I wanted to be a pediatrician. Unofficially I became one after having 4 children.

I worked after school and on Saturdays at Pinewood Village Variety store on Little York. I was paid minimum wage. . .what ever that was in 1958/59. Hard work for the money. After graduation, I worked for an insurance company in the Accounts Receivable department.

Everyone I meet is famous to me.

1. camping, and hiking short trails. My favorite place to go is a campground in New Waverly where you can watch eagles.
2. I love sewing wedding gowns, other specialty gowns and dresses.
3. I love visiting and playing around with my grandchildren.
4. I love traveling but not staying away from home for more than 10 days. .

My children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They are the reason I breath, the reason my heart beats, and the reason for my smiles.

I married Wayne Nolley while still in school and was a mommy before graduation. After graduating, I worked for an insurance company and a bank. Was divorced after 5 years of marriage. Married Ronald in '68, bringing 2 children to the marriage and moved to California for 5 years then returned to Houston. I attended Cabrillo College while in California. Ronald and I have 2 sons so I became a stay at home mom until '78 when I returned to the working force. I went to work for the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston in the accounting office. Worked in accounting as an expense auditor until 2000 when I began to have heart problems. I retired and had heart surgery in 2000 then came back to UT after taking a year to recuperate. I am now at UT School of Public Health. Obviously I enjoy working at UT. I don't have any plans to retire again very soon. I have enought vacation time to give me the breaks I need from work. The last couple of years I have spent a lot of time in Hawaii visiting my daughter who is now a breast cancer surviver.
