....from one closed chapter in my life to a new beginning... Free Comments & Graphics

 I am happy with life, and where I am at in my life.  I am an educator who teaches children who receive special education services at the high school level.  As an engineer, I had an opportunity to teach, and fell in love with the profession.  So, I returned to college. 

I have lived in southeast Texas for 18 years.  I am about to leave for Seattle, WA.  I will teach for the United States Army, God willing.  As a U. S. Air Force Vietnam War veteran, I know what military life is, and its' benefits~ traveling for free while doing what I love to do in life and being paid, too!

I look forward to a new chapter in my life, and the rewards that will come with it.  The aggregate military will be my friends, and extended family once again.  It is an exciting opportunity that I embrace already even before I arrive at Ft. Lewis, WA in the new year.

Did I tell you that my late husband and I have 12 children?  We have 6 boys and 6 girls.  They inspire me!  My children so inspire me.  I learn from their youth, ideals, and ambitions.  Of our twelve, 9 are either in college, or graduated college.  My baby number 6, Heather, just graduated with her MBA, and is now a certified public accountant. 

 I  am hoping this holiday that my children, whose MIA pics are not published here, will comply.  I know your next question~ was it cheaper by the dozen?  NO!  However, thanks to my military leadership training, I was a well organized 1st sargeant.  Thank God for the United States Air Force....

Dear friends:  I have now relocated to the Evergreen state from the Great Lone Star state, and finished processing in to Ft. Lewis, WA.  Whew!  I have forgotten since my service with the U.S. Air Force all the paper work that is required to be acknowledged as a military member let alone have my vehicle registered for post access.

On to the future....

 

 

I am honored and blessed to serve in these organizations...
