After LHS
I took one short course at KU and some art classes...was an
underachiever, I am afraid.
Employment
I work in a retail store. Sometimes I am a floral designer;
sometimes a cashier; sometimes I do the equivalent of store
designs and windows. When the mood strikes me, I paint
canvases to sell in California and fly out to paint murals. I
have painted them for home tours in Manhattan Beach, sponsored
by social groups at holiday time, and actually have one coming
up to do for a movie producer's children. (I like saying
that...hehe.)
Hearth & Home
I was married to Ken Coffman for 30 years and now am divorced.
I have two grown children: Jill, who owns a children's store
and resides in Manhattan Beach, Calif., and Josh, a computer
guru of some sort who protects websites all over the country
for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Jill's children's
store, SPROUT, was just featured in BEST OF LA magazine
for being the best children's store in the Los Angeles area. I take great pride in
the success and happiness of my children. I also have two
grandchildren, Sammy and Tillie. Oh yes...and the smartest dog
in the entire world, Luna.
The Other Stuff
I belonged to the Fort Collins Junior League for many years
and served on committees, including The Garden Tour
(fundraising) and a very rewarding two years on a Health
Van. The Health Van was a completely free, no-questions-asked
health care system. Doctors and dentists all provided pro bono
health care to indigents and illegal aliens, including
necessary surgeries. One doctor even adopted three children
who were born in a crack house. It was a wonderful experience
to see the dedication of these medical professionals. During
my two years of service, our committee got invited to visit
with the president to explain our system. What's still left to
do? Just keep breathing; the rest follows.
My Memories of LHS
I remember fondly so many things, so many people. I remember
not so fondly so many things, so many people. |
