I was born in Texas, lived in Arkansas, California and Oregon. I went to California Lutheran College for 2 years, but graduated from Oregon State. I taught school for 8 years before working at State Farm. I retired from State Farm in 2012 after 24 years. I am enjoying retirement with book club, lunches, happy hours, movies, walks, volunteer and social groups and some part time substituting. I have two kids from my first marriage, ages 35 and 27. Tim lives in the Bay Area and is doing Finance for a Communications company. He recently married Miriam Symonds and they have a beautiful little boy named graham born on July 27, 2016. Alli is living in marina del Rey working at an equities firm and living with her fiancé, Jackson Mollin. They are planning their wedding for 11/11/17 in Indian wells, Ca. I recently lost my beloved husband Michael but still have our little westie, Molly. She is now 12 years old and is a wonderful companion!
