Service
After returning home from the PC, Jim and I had two children. Jeffrey David in 1970 and Phillip John in 1973. Both have grown up to be wonderful, productive, caring men.
I worked throughout their childhood as an RN is Battle Creek, Michigan. During this time I earned my BSA degree. In 1984, Jim and I divorced. I continued to work and also went on to earn my MSN degree.
In 1992, I remarried to Stenn Bowman. We moved to Detroit where I taught at Madonna University for a year, then worked in a Cardiology office as the nursing supervisor and cardiac rehab nurse. We tired of the big city, long, fast commutes, so moved to a lake/ golf community outside of Knoxville, TN. I continued to work as an MDS coordinator in a skilled nursing/rehab center.
Outside of work I golf, boat, garden, read, knit, scrap book. My oldest son and his family (wife and two children) live in Nashville, TN and come often. Both of my sons are athletes...starting out in tri-athelons, marathons and now are doing Iron Men competitions...the last 3 they have competed in together and the whole family goes to cheer them on.

I plan on retiring in 3 years.
That's it in a nutshell! I won't be able to attend the August reunion because we'll be cheering the boys on in another Iron Man in Louisville, KY. I'm so happy to have finally connected to some of my old PC friends. I have so many good memories of those times. By the way, I don't remember ever making bread, but I did make a mean pizza!
