Oh my! I have a busy, challenging and quite diverse lifestyle. I have two fabulous children( now grown), and two grandchildren which are the purest joy of my life. Nicolas is 6 and Leo is 19mos. There is no explaining unless you are a grandparent what this overwhelming love is like. My parents are both living, with some health problems but not many. I am blessed. I have always held a sales position of sorts throught the past thirty plus years, but the most rewarding was as a New Home Sales Manager both here and in Texas. I have about 15 years experience there. As for Texas, what can I say. I lived there from 1994 until 2004. My heart will always be there. It is an amazing place to live and raise children. I lived in Arlington, which is very near Dallas. I am married to the love of my life now, and I am truly happy. My son Adam is getting married March 12th, 2011 and his bride to be is a blessing in everyway to our family. Her name is Shannon and she has a beautiful little boy age 3 named Jonah. I am one very lucky lady in every respect. I connected with some of my closest school friends last Janurary, and am enjoying every minute that we spend together. Friends are the breath of life. I guess that is about it. Life just has given me more than I could ever have hoped for. So let's celebrate the class of 1971 with laughter, and each other.

Graduated 1971. 2 years of College at CLC in Grayslake and at University of Phoenix. I am still planing to complete my degree, and it will be in Education. I want to teach Kindergaten through Grade 5. Kids are my true passion.

I have so many great and funny memories, but here goes one anyway. When we were Seniors, we got to "white wash" the streets and paint the windows for Homecoming. We also stayed overnight at Lindy's Landing, the beach house, which was shaperoned, but nevertheless, we did our fare share of partying. One of our friends fell asleep with her head resting in a bucket and her hands folded. We fell down laughing. What a blast that whole experience was. I left her name out, but most of you who were there will probably remember.
