Richard was in the Navy so we moved around -- New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nebraska (yes the Navy has jobs there). Then we lived outside of Denver Colorado for ten years and we have lived in Knoxville, Tennessee for 18 years. I worked for private industry and for Department of Defense. Sometimes I was a stay at home mother. Sometimes I worked part time jobs like cashiering and working with the General Public might be the most difficult job there is. I volunteered and at times I ended up in the care-giving role. Message me and join me on Facebook. I also spend a lot of time on Ancestry -- it is a good hobby for me.

My favorite memories of high school was playing in the orchestra for the High School Musicals. Everyone worked together. Students had to practice their parts, and a lot of people worked on the scenery and costumes. Students participated, either on stage, back stage, in the orchestra pit, and some were even out in the audience. We all had to pay attention to each other, and we all worked together for a successful performance. It was a pooling of our individual talents.
