Since 1960:
After graduating from Hope College, I taught elementary school in West Hartford, CN and at the US Embassy School in Bad Godesberg, Germany. It was there I met my husand, Rich, and we were married five months later.
After returning to the US, we lived in Birmingham, Michigan and in 1970 moved to Holland, MI where we have lived since.
With four children, I became a stay-at-home mom , and for eighteen years, was a care provider for a friend's three children. Rich continued his career in education as a teacher and principal.
We have been blessed with four daughters, three sons-in-law, and nine grandchildren (ages 3 to 16) who all live nearby.
Rich and I are both retired and enjoy spending time with family and friends, attending sporting events, camping and traveling. We have been fortunate to have traveled to all fifty states and to many countries abroad.
I am looking forward to our class reunion. It will be my first since graduating!
