Comments:

A couple of years after graduating from SHS I attended Sheldon Academy in Burlington, Vermont. I graduated as a licensed beautician in March 1961. I went back to Springfield and I worked for a short time in a small beauty shop and later moved to Rutland, Vermont and worked at two different Beauty shops for about 10 years.

Married in 1962 and lived in Long Beach CA while Jerry was in the Navy. We returned to Rutland, VT in 1964.

We stayed until 1976 and then returned back to CA, and lived in Burbank for about 8 years. I worked in 2 different Burbank Elementary schools. Then returned to Vt in 1983 to stay. We live in Mt. Holly.

I graduated from Rutland CCV in 2002 with an Associate Degree in Liberal Studies.

Retired in 2007 from my job as a para-educator at Mount Holly School. Worked 23 years there.

Also, Jerry retired in November of 2016. He worked 30 years for the Town of Ludlow, Vermont as a EMS Dispatcher.

We spend winters at our Mobile Home in Sunshine Village Park in Webster FL., and summers at home in Mt Holly, Vt.

School Story:

Can't think of any school stories...but I remember I enjoyed going to the basketball and football games.

When and why did your family first come to Springfield?:

My mom and my grandparent came to Springfield, Vermont from Chilson, NY when my mom was a young girl...I am not sure what year that was.

My dad came to Springfield around mid '30s from N.Thetford, Vermont where he lived on a farm of 600 acres and took care of the farm at age 19 after his dad died at an early age in his 50s...He flew his plane into the Hartness Airport in the early 30's and soon after met my mother and married 4 years later.

What’s been going on in your life over the past 5 to 10 years or so?

Jerry and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary March of 2012
Will be celebrating 56 years March 2018

We spend our winters in Webster, FL.

I do a lot of crocheting and craft projects and I am a certified instructor for "Bone Builders" exercise class for 11 years. A great program for building bones. Originated from "Tuft" University.

Have you a particular motto/belief that has guided you through life?

Treat others the way you would want to be treated...
