What did you do immediately after high school?

Attended USU for 2 years. Then worked on campus for a couple more years. I then moved to SLC and worked for the Ensign magazine in the Church Office Building. I lived with Cindy Brough and had a great time. I then moved back to Washington, DC and worked for Congressman Dan Marriott (Utah) and lived in Chevy Chase, MD. Decided the political life wasn't for me and moved back to SLC. Worked several Administrative Assistant job. I was probably considered an old maid because I didn't get married until I was 30. Didn't work after the birth of our 1st daughter. Then we moved to No. Ogden. My husband worked for Thiokol. Then we had the opportunity to move to The Woodlands, TX. Hubby worked for Shell Oil in their Catalyst Division. Lived there for 22 years. We are now back in Utah near the grand babies and living in quiet little Plain City.

Dee here’s the proof you were at the 5 year reunion. You’re on the bottom row by Kim Larsen. I’m on the opposite end

It was great to see you last week at Maddox. However, I don’t think you had a clue to who I was. ?? I guess I didn’t make a great impression in high school.
