Janet Judd Dick

After graduation, I attended the University of Southwestern Louisiana (USL) for a year and half. In September 1961 I married Tommy Meredith (whom I dated in high school.) He and I moved to Houston, Texas and I worked at a window and patio door company, Air Control Products, where Del Turner, Joni’s (Schroder) husband worked also. Small world. Tommy and I had one son, Brian, born in Houston in 1965. We moved to Tulsa, Ok. but later divorced in 1968. I stayed in Tulsa because, 1) I had a good job as a Tax Analyst with Warren Petroleum Company and 2) I wanted to prove I could handle this on my own and be independent. I thought “I can do this, I’m a big girl.”

While bowling on Warren’s company bowling team, I met Denny Dick who was a sub on one of the other teams. After dating for a short time he and I were married in 1970. Denny and I had three boys, Landon born in 1/75, Chance in 12/75 and Jarrett in 2/79. Denny had two boys (Curtis and Kevin) from a previous marriage and I had Brian from my marriage with Tommy, therefore, together we had six boys. Now tell me if that didn’t allow for a crazy/fun household, at times. I was always outnumbered. Imagine that? ?

In 1996 Warren Petroleum was bought by a company in Houston and the Tulsa office was closed. I had an option of moving our family to Houston but for various reasons chose to stay in Tulsa. I was able to stay on with Warren until the very end spending time in Houston training their tax personnel. Fortunately, where one door closes another opens. Prior to my last day at Warren, a job opportunity became available at Pan Energy Corp. in their tax department doing the same type work I did at Warren. So, in December 1996 I went to work for Pan Energy. We have since changed names several times with the last being DCP Midstream, LP. I’m still at DCP and have no plans of retiring at the moment.

Denny was diagnosis with Melanoma in July 1995 and after a courageous battled he died in February 1998. Our three boys Landon, Chance and Jarrett are married and either live in Tulsa or the surrounding area. Denny’s two boys (Curtis and Kevin) live in Colorado. Brian (my son) lives in Poza Rica, Mexico. Between all the boys I have 6 grandsons and 6 granddaughters.

Besides working, I manage to stay very busy. I’m very active in my church and I’m also a member of the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary. I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my family and grandchildren. Every other summer the boys, their families and I go to Destin Florida for a week. I love to travel and do so as much as I can. A bunch of us girls from high school have stayed in touch and we get together every October for a fun/talking/laughing girls weekend. My life is good - full, happy and blessed. I couldn’t ask for more.

I look forward to our upcoming 50th class re-union in 2011. YIKES! It will be fun seeing everyone. Kudos to all those who will be working hard to make it happen.
