I graduated from Fort Hays Kansas State University in Hays, KS in 1960, and had taught 2 years in my home town, taking over for the nuns that were removed from our little parish. . Two wonderful years and a great way to begin a teaching career. Jack was in the Navy and we were married between the 2 years of teaching in Loretto. Went to San Diego,CA in July, 1960 after I received my degree. Kelly was born in Sept. Jack served his tour in the navy and we went back to Denver and Jack worked for Martin Marrietta. I taught. That started our moves and his career in the aerospace industry. With a break to finish his degree at KSU in Manhattan. I taught in St. Marys, KS and was the bread-winner. Then on to Wichita with Boeing; on to Huntsville, Alabama; Little Rock, AR; again Wichita, KS; Tucson, AZ; Denver, CO; Greensboro, NC/ at this time Jack and I both earned our Masters Degrees; New Port News, VA; Hampton, VA and finally our last home here in Richmond/North Chesterfield, VA. We have been here since 1982, so we consider ourselves Native Virginians. Ha.( Still a Kansas farmgirl at heart!) We did move into this empty-nester type home 6 months before my Jack died. I thank God everyday for that move. I love it here. My house, neighbors, and the location which is near my church. I retired after 34 years as teacher/counselor and have been retired since 2000. I love company so ya all come!! The welcome mat is out!
