Biography (2001)

Let"s see...what has changed since the last biography. I don"t even remember. It"s because I have been diagnosed with AAADD. That"s Advanced Age Attention Defficit Disorder. I can"t even spell it correctly! Anyhow, I"m still teaching, but my students are now three-year-olds. Thank goodness I don"t have to teach spelling. I was moved involuntarily and left the infants and the two-year-olds kicking and screaming. Well, not literally, but I sure felt like it. I have been harassed by the principal of my school for the last four years (since an early childhood coordinator was hired) because she (the principal) wants me to retire. I think it"s because I"m old and ugly, and she likes sweet young things who hang on her every word so she can mold them in her image.

I enjoyed teaching my class last year because it was the "perfect" mix...half boys and half girls, etc. This year I am at my wit"s end because I have 10 boys and only 6 girls. One of the little boys is very sweet but the rest of them are "hell raisers"! I will survive however, because I am bigger (and sometimes smarter) than they are.

J.C. is still enjoying the heck out of his retirement. He drives me to school and picks me up each day, does the grocery shopping, looks for books he hasn"t read, buys them and stores them in a 20" by 30" storage building on our three-acre lot. He is as happy as a pig eating corn.

Our four adult children all live in the Little Rock area and we get together every Sunday and "char" some steaks. Daughters Valerie and Paula live with us (we have a five bedroom home so there is plenty of room) and we all love and enjoy each other. Terry is divorced (no children, but two enormous dogs - Mastiffs) that I call my "grand doggies"); he lives in Little Rock. James moved back to this area from Colorado Springs, CO and is employed by ComCast Communications, as is Paula. They both like their jobs. Valerie is still employed as an office nurse for a doctor in Little Rock. She has one daughter, Crystal Elena who is 23, my ONLY grandchild, who lives in Little Rock with her fiance. They plan to marry in May 2003. Then, maybe I"ll have a great-grandchild!

I will be walking in the Komen Race for the Cure on Saturday, September 29, with Valerie, Paula, Lorrie (ex-daughter-in-law), Crystal and Bobby (her fiance) and the members of the Rockefeller School staff. We always have a great time. I have purchased a knee brace for my arthritic knee so I can walk the family 2K route. I didn"t walk last year because of my knee problem. I will wear my survivor pink (6 years now).

I believe I have a guardian angel that watches over me. I am already looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.
