Do you still see/talk to/hang out with any classmates? Who?

I see classmates that live here in Platte from time to time. Once in a while I see Deb (Dimick) Klosterman and of course I see Renae quite often!

How often do you get back to Platte?

Hardly ever leave.

What did you do right after Highschool?

I started working at First Fidelity Bank right after high school. I got married one year out of high school at the old age of 19. I worked at the bank for several years and when I had kids I left the bank so I could be home with them. After my youngest was in school I went back to the bank. When we bought the dealership I left the bank to work there.

What do you do now?

I am the business/office manager at Platte Ford.

What did you want to do or think that you were going to do after highschool?

College wasn't really in my vocabulary at that time so I was thrilled to get a job at First Fidelity Bank and then all I really wanted was to get married and have a family. I always pictured myself working in an office somewhere.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I love to walk when it's nice out, read a newspaper, do Sudoku, and spend time with my grandbabies.

Do you like to travel? Where was the last place you went?

I don't really like to travel. I have braved flying a few times, but, just really don't like to if I don't have to. Last year we went to Mexico with two other couples and that was fun, but, the whole time I was there I knew I had to get back on that plane to get home.

Where is you favorite place?

Home.

Favorite Drink

Diet Coke

Favorite food

Obviously I have a lot of favorites!

Favorite Sport?

We love to golf (even though we aren't very good) and we like to attend high school sporting events.

Favorite Music? What was the last CD you bought?

I usually only listen to music in my vehicle and my favorite is Christian music.

Favorite Movie? What was the last movie you saw?

I don't really have a favorite. We like to go to movies in the theatre, but, hardly ever watch a movie at home. The recliner is just too comfy and I can't stay awake! We enjoy having the theatre open again in Platte.

How old do you feel :)

I feel 48 most of the time.

Do you have gray hair?

No

Have you ever gone to Washington DC? Have you returned since we marched in President Carter's Inaugural parade?

I did go to Washington DC with the band, but, have not been back.
