Comments:

Was married Mike Brodersen. Became a mom & lived first in Norfolk, VA. Move back to Omaha, still doing the mom thing. We moved to Topeka, I was still doing the mom thing. Moved to Junction City, KS. still doing the mom thing. Moved to Manhattan, still doing the mom thing while Mike chose to go to Kansas State University. I started a Day Care in my home & care for close to 100 children over the course of nearly 14 years. I decided that I wanted enter the work force with adults. I started working as a Custodian at Kansas State University. Did that for about 6 years, & took the computer courses at the end of the 6 years. I ended up working in the office of the English Dept., then the English Language Dept. & then going back to Custodial. I retired after 14 years at Kansas State University. During that time I took a few classes & totally enjoyed school.

School Story:

First of all, I absolutely loved going to Technical High School, from 7th grade to graduating from high school. Being originally from a very small town, Tech gave me such a wide variety of people & activities that I would of never had in that small town.

What did you do right after High School?

Worked at Northwestern Bell as an Information Operator. Then I got married, had my children & began my journey through life.

Any Grand Kids?

Yes

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Since I'm retired, I do whatever I can afford to do. I'm still an avid reader & am now working through the "top 100 books one should read before one dies." No, I'm not gonna read all of them but I gonna give it a good try.

Any Vices?

Yes

Where have you traveled?

Been to Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Colorado, 4 corners, Cancun, Iowa, South Dakota & of course the great state of Nebraska.

How old do you feel?

35, 45, 55, 65, & what ever else my mind take me.

Any Grey hair?

Yes

What would we be surprised to know about you?

I own two tarantulas. I've tandum jumped from an airplane, flown in a hot air balloon. Sometimes I can even answer something on Jeopardy that even the champs can't answer . . . but not very often!

Did you have a nick name/s at Tech?

One guy called me 'kitten.'

Who was your favorite teacher?

Mr. Kenneth Roy, by far.

What was your favorite class?

English, Art, Band, & Speech.

What are your best memories from Tech?

Some of the parties we'd go to that my folks didn't know we went. He would of been furious.

Any Crazy Confessions?

There was a time after a football game when the band got back to Tech early. Some kids & I went riding around, taking us girl's scarves & then wrapped them around car mirrors. The driver took off real fast & the mirror would get pulled of the car. I took one home as a souvenir & managed to convince my mom that I just found it.

Hey Howard, you really turned out to be a stud! I've lived in KS since 1969. I do THANK YOU for your time in the service. Vietnam Vets were treated quite awful when they came home. I do hope you had some good experiences upon your return. Hope you can attend whatever our class has another reunion. It truly was a great time last August seeing so many of all the classes.
