I worked for 35 years as a Legal Secretary/Paralegal and enjoyed it very much. I finally decided I needed a change and was offered a job with CrossFit, HQ, a fitness regimen developed by Coach Greg Glassman. I work on the affiliate team and enjoy talking and meeting people everyday. I have also traveled around the word with CrossFit, spreading the word of our company.

I married young but then got divorced as many of you know. I was not interested in marrying again so just lived with my "husband" until 2012 when my husband was diagnosed with two horrible types of cancer. This was a changing point for both of us and we decided it was time to marry. We have traveled the world by motorcycle, including Europe, Russia, Canada, US and Mexico. I have over 250k miles as a passenger and yes, my butt at times really really hurt. I have since pretty much given up motorcycle riding and am now rescuing animals, my all time passion since I was a little girl. It has been a very emotional roller coaster with good times and horrible times, but I love animals and do what I can for them. My FB page is covered with animals-sorry!

I also am involved with the Alzheimer's groups as my mother is currently dying from this horrible disease.

I came to South Pasadena from a very small farming town in Indiana when I was a sophomore. Everybody was so kind to me and I enjoyed everybody that I came in contact with. Kim Buckley and Patty Fox were my two very best friends-we all had such a great time together. One of the best times that Patty and I remember the most, was us jumping off our patio cover into our pool-but only when my parents weren't around as my dad didn't approve. I had to move away for my junior year but was lucky to come back for my senior year and live with The Fox Family on Stratford! They took me into their home like I was one of them and today I am still considered their "adopted" daughter/sister! I have several pictures that I need to scan and put up. Guess I need to do some spring cleaning to get find them!!
