Lynne Odenheim Kalmar

I retired from teaching English as a second language 7 years ago. I’m writing a memoir. I love to dance whenever i can. I zumba Tuesdays and Thursdays, try to walk 100000 steps a day, don’t always make it. I have a women’s group meets Mondays and a writers group meets Fridays. I swim a kilometer when I get the chance. I cook, invite friends over and watch mysteries on tv. I’m planning a trip to Spain in the spring.

3 classes with Gilbert Weatherbee my senior year and tutoring Emily Patterson in French. Making a matchstick sputnik in Mrs Kluger’s class in my junior year and getting in trouble for it. Protesting “Operation Abolution” and getting them to show a more balanced view ofHUAC protests. Meeting the bullfighter Paco Camino at Rucy Jason’s house. He had a thing for Jeanne Thompson but then, which male didn’t. Group therapy with Violet Stark.

Co-chairing Americans Abroad for MacGovern. Loving Mexican hospitality. I just can’t get used to the lack of it here. How wonderful it was to be a teenager in Mexico with all the activities, parties, movies, bowling, trampolines, doing things in a small crowd of friends. How supportive women were of each other as a young mother.
