After graduation I went to Wichita U, met my husband Joe Williams, graduate of Kapaun, and got my MRS degree. We got married and he was hired by Southwestern Bell and we were then transferred to Dodge City. After Dodge City we were transferred to Amarillo and then to Kansas City, MO and finally Houston. Along the way, we had four children: Joe Jr., Al, Amalia and John. My husband was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in '86 and I decided it was best for me to start working in case something happened to him and he was unable to work. I hired on as a bookkeeper for the rest of my working career. Joe retired from Southwestern Bell in '91 at the age of 48 and I kept working. Bridge is my passion and I play at least three times a week. I have six grandchildren. The oldest is graduating from college next May, the second oldest is graduating from high school next May and the rest are still in grade school. We, in '89, accepted a foreign exchange student from Brazil, Jane Brito, and she adopted us. The next year - before the oldest grandchild was born - we went to Brazil and met her family and we have been to Brazil at least four times. Jane regularly visits and has since purchased a home here in the US. Joe and I will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary next year. Life is good and we are happy!

After graduating from Mount Carmel, I thought that all girls Catholic school was so fun, I went to Mt Saint Scolastica in Atchison Kansas.  After one year I decided that maybe it wasn’t that fun after all.  I then went to Creighton University in Omaha Nebraska and received a degree in Medical Technology.  I have Patsy Callahan’s father, Dr. Callahan, to thank for getting me started in that career.  Each summer during my college years he hired me to work in the lab at St. Francis Hospital as a lab assistant.  It was a great career to have for the next 20+ years.

I married my college sweetheart and we had 2 great boys.  Unfortunately the marriage did not last.  One day I went skydiving and discovered that there was a life out there!  I filed for divorce the next day.

I continued skydiving and skiing and ended up marrying my skydiving sweetheart and moving to Colorado.  I changed careers after getting a masters degree in Computers and spent the last 15 years as a software engineer.  That ended up being a great career move.  My last job was writing interfaces and applications for hospital software, so I was able to combine both careers. 

I retired about one year ago and enjoying golfing, skiing, aerobics, biking and sailing (quit skydiving about 10 years ago).  And when I am lucky, I get to visit my 2 young grandkids
