LYNNE TUCKER

Moved to Tulsa from New York when American Airlines opened the maintenance center in 1946. Lived in White City and attended Franklin K-4, then we moved to 11/Memorial and attended Lindbergh 5-6 and Bell 7-8, then we moved to 21st Pl between Yale and Sheridan and I attended Whitney and Hale. I had begged to stay at Bell and had a transfer but for some reason I opted to go to Whitney. I can remember the excitement of going to the “new school” and seeing old friends and making new friends…planting grass, picking the school colors, sharing the building with HIGH SCHOOL students, etc. We had to go to school so early – but what fun we could have in the afternoon when other kids were in school! I remember riding the bus downtown and eating lunch with the kids from Central.

I attended TU for 2 years where I was a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority. I went to work after my sophomore year. I lived in Norman from 1969 – 1978 where I worked and attended OU. I received my B.S. in Business Education in 1976 and my M.B.A. in 1978. I moved back to Tulsa in 1978 - and went to work for Sunray DX. I later worked for Williams and ended my career at Tulsa Public Schools – retired the minute I could get Medicare!!

I am quite a do-it-yourselfer and enjoy working on projects around my home in Ranch Acres. It’s amazing how the internet has so much information on how to fix/make/do most anything!

I am an avid garage sale, flea market, estate sale, E-Bay and Craigslist shopper.

I have been involved in Wire Fox Terrier and Welsh terrier rescue. I have trained and shown terriers in obedience, agility, fly ball and earth dog. I also groomed and owner/handled my Welsh Terrier to his AKC championship. I have had 3 therapy dogs. I bred 2 litters (13 puppies) of Welsh Terriers and currently have 2 Welsh Terriers.

The reunion was wonderful! All the 'remembers', smiles, laughs and hugs made for a memorable weekend.
