Best Vacation Ever: We have taken several nice trips over the years, but the most joyous one was seeing Disneyworld again thru the eyes and excited emotions of our 3 year old granddaughter Caroline.

Favorite Memory of High School: Funniest memory -  this was in the old junior high school.  I threw a book at aggravating Ira Bell in English (?) class 3^rd floor.   The book went thru the glass window and broken glass fell onto band students outside going to class.  I got in a lot of trouble over this.  This was the same class that Ira would hang outside from the windowsill. I can’t remember the teacher’s name, but she was never there.  Saddest  Memory – sitting in Chemistry class, 12^th grade and an announcement came over the intercom that our President, John F. Kennedy had been assassinated. Total unbelief.  Favorite  Memory – finally graduating and freedom.

Proudest Moments of My Life: Marrying Phil, the birth of our children and starting my own business
