I'm an optometrist, and part owner in Millard Family Eyecare. My husband Carl and I have an acerage outside Omaha in Springfield, NE. Carl is a metal artist, and his studio is on our grounds. During the summer of 2009 he had a POW monument commissioned that is by the Rose Garden at Memorial Park .

School Story:

Graduated from UNO with a BS in Biology, then off to St. Louis for 4 more years to earn my Doctor of Optometry.

What did you do right after High School?

Married, went to college, had kids.

Any Grand Kids?

Yes

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Read, garden, and scrapbook.

Where have you traveled?

I love to travel. I've been on 15+ mission trips to do eye exams on people in other countries. I've traveled to Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Equador, Peru and Guatemala. We take donated glasses, and match up prescriptions on patients I examine.
I went to Wales to train as Clinical Director for Special Olympics Healthy Athletes.
Carl and I went to Italy for our 25th wedding anniversary, and returned in May 2009 for a longer visit.

How old do you feel?

Not like I've been out of high school for 28 years!

Any Grey hair?

No

What would we be surprised to know about you?

I specialize in pediatrics, and work with visually impaired, autistic and special needs kids. Helping them to see is important-they've got enough strikes against them.

Who was your favorite teacher?

Craig Christensen

What was your favorite class?

Anything science related

What are your best memories from Tech?

Walking the hallways before school, attending the football and basketball games, Homecoming and Prom dances.

A week since the reunion and finally reading my TECH Daily News from my swag bag. What a great momento. So much history from our school. Proud to call myself a Tech High graduate.
