Birthday: 10/21/1951

I went to Miles City, Montana after graduating from high school. I never intended on staying, but met my husband and there we were. We made our home in Miles City for 32 years and then decided to change things up a bit and went to teach in Minnesota where Jeff lived. I really liked it there but Scott didn't care for it much--he's an avid bird hunter, (mainly pheasant), and they just aren't as plentiful in Minnesota as in Montana. After two years we moved to Idaho, a bit closer to home--and finally came back to Montana where Kennedy and Amy both lived. It's nice to be back--closer to 2 of our children and of course GRANDCHILDREN!! I just finished my 25th year of teaching and will probably teach a few more before retiring. I am still an avid HAWKEYE fan and would love to get back for a game some day, maybe when I retire! I love most sports and we support our high school activities where we both teach, its nice to stay involved--it keeps me young! I coached baseball, basketball, soccer, and softball when my kids were growing up and also taught Sunday School and Bible School over the years. I used to play tennis and racket ball, but now just golf--or try to. I attend my Payton's & Dylan's sporting events or whatever they are involved in for school. Lexi has her first Dance Recital in a week and I will be there for that--she just wants to be a cheerleader, but have hope she will be active in some sport. I enjoy watching and playing with my grandchldren, and can't believe how time has flown by!! Don't lead a real exciting life, but enjoy every minute of it and wouldn't change a thing.
