Connie Batie Ortega

Anything that Elvis sang

I was already married to Art Ortega by the time all of you graduated.
I am so excited to see everyone and catch up on what everyone has been doing all these years.
We lived in Weiser, Idaho for several years and I became a hairdresser. Then Art received a chance to go work for the Boeing Co. in Seattle, Wa. We moved to Seattle in May of 1966. I was raising kids and enjoyed being involved in PTA, & numerous other things.
In 1979 I went to work for the Boeing Co. as a Clerk and then became a Pattern Data Operator until 2000. Art & I retired and moved to sunny Arizona, where we still live. We have a 5th wheel and we do some traveling in the summer. Especially the really hot month of August when the temp here is 117 or so.
We have 9 grandchildren, R.J., Christian, James, Kaley, Brittney & Brianne (twins) Robert Jr. Samantha, & Candace. 7 great grandchildren. Rudy Jr., Lily, Reilly, Kailana, James Jr, Kaylyn, Jaxson

I remember being at the football game and the school caught fire and it burned the top story. When we went back to class everything smelled of smoke.
I think the most memorable teacher was Mr Corn, & he scared the heck out of me. Mrs Driscoll was always so stern and Mrs Kaiser was the P.E. teacher.
