Hawaii - I love the weather and the pace there. Or maybe Ireland (Galway) - I love the scenery and the people.

Yes. My sister Lizz and her husband John Dewey live in C.L. as does my youngest brother, Bill. My dad currently resides in the Fountains in CL.

a lot.

not sure - I think I'd prefer something a bit more rural, like CL used to be.

Was employed as a Revenue Officer for the US Treasury/IRS for 30 years. Took the job because it paid more than social work. Did well - received numerous awards for performance, involvement in Equal Opportunity. Was nominated for Michael Dillon Award, the highest honor for a revenue officer, and was finalist for federal law enforcement employee in our area.

housing counselor and social worker for community action agency. Worked "the line" at Motorola as a wirer and solderer while I was looking for a job in my field. One of the worst jobs I had was making boxes at Big Beam - I quit after 3 days.

After working at Goodsell for the summer, I went to U of I at Champaign, received B.S in LAS with a degree in Social Work. At the time, you had to have five major/minor areas of study for that degree.

I'll still be retired, probably doing some volunteer work.

Our senior year I made a cake for the cake walk and Patty Black decorated it so it looked like a tiger. It was fantastic, but it was so huge we had to put it on a piece of plywood to take it to the school. The kid who won it had to have his father bring his station wagon to pick it up.

in contact with Jean Iwaniw (Gordon), Marian Ossman (Collins), Peggy McGuire (Dickstein) and Jean Kahle.

I'd like to think that there are still many high points to come, but I really loved being at U of I during the late 60s-early 70's. It was a time of change, sexual revolution, women's lib, political activism, marches, the first Earth Day, etc. There's a similar kind of excitement now so I can't wait to see what this decade brings!

read, travel (mostly cruises), movies. talk with friends, quilt

I love traveling almost anywhere (the States, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, etc.) but I particularly like Hawaii (Molokai), Ireland (Galway), and Britain (London).

probably back to europe. I've been to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Blegium and part of Italy, so that leaves plenty of european countries that I have yet to visit.

that I won a trophy for women's skeet shooting and have my pro marksman pin (which I earned at church camp!)

Met Walter Payton at his bar. Had photo taken with Fabio.

Lived with and studied the Winnebagos in WI during my senior break at U of I.

Drove to the top of Mount Haleakala with a friend while in Hawaii. We didn't realize it would be so cold up there before sunrise and we almost froze our butts off! And we almost scared ourselves to death when we had to drive down the mountain and could then see how steep it was!

Columbia, Mo.

When I was young we lived in Springfield, IL. There was a local show called Pegwell Circus, kind of like Bozo. I remember the host commenting on my pretty dress (black velvet top with blue crinkled skirt with black velvet snowflakes on it).

my dog, Waggers

just yesterday when I was with some friends.
