This is exciting. Glad you are doing this Jerry. I have been unable to join through my "tablet" so finally went to the computer. Came right up.

I retired in 1999 and moved to the Hill Country on Lake LBJ. This 45 minutes from Austin, Tx. Two of my three boys are married, each have a boy and a girl. Youngest Son, Jimmy, is getting married in August, 2013. Maybe more grandchildren?

We have 2 cats, Bootsy & PePe LePew; one dog - lab - Abby. Love them all.

Boys and families visit each year where we all have fun boating, skiing, playing with water toys, fishing, cards, and just enjoying one another.

I totally love playing Bridge and play as often as I can.

I have gone to Williston every February for my mothers birthday - who passed away in 2005 at the age of 102. I continue to go back to Williston (usually in September) to see my brother, Jim who lives in Williston, and my other brother, Ron who lives in S. D. but always comes at the same time I do. We play Gin Rummy for days on end. Can't believe the city now.

Jim and I have been very happy these past 30+ years. You all remember Dennis Oien (Morken) - the father of my boys. Well, he and his wife, Lupe, and my husband, Jim, and I are all friends. This is so great. Only way to divorce - right?

School Story

Loved school! Maintained good grades and good friends! Met my to be husband, Denny Oien (Morken), my freshman year at the "old" highschool. We dated all through school until we graduated and married! The downside of this would be that I didn't spend as much time with my friends had we not been going "steady" this whole time. He was one year ahead of me in school so my class of "1960" was the first to go through all three years! You should see it now if you haven't.

I have so many wonderful memories. I will have to say the highlight was being elected Homecoming Queen! This was the greatest. Thank you all for voting for me. I never expected this would happen to me - especially dating Denny all these years.
