After departing West Ottawa I went to Michigan State University, graduating with a teaching degree in Physical Education and French. I taught PE and coached girls swimming and gymnastics at Walled Lake Western and East Kentwood HS. I retired after the birth of our first child. Later, I went back to school, learned American Sign Language and substitute taught in the hearing-impaired classrooms at Saugatuck and Holland HS. Now that my kids are raised (if that ever really happens) I spend my time playing the piano, golfing and reading French books and chalk painting old furniture. Let me know if any of you need a piece transformed into Shabby Chic ! John is still practicing law but we manage to spend lots of time with family and wonderful friends.
Matthew, our oldest, is a Captain and C-17 aircraft commander/pilot in the USAF, stationed in Altus Oklahoma. He is also an instructor pilot for special forces air drops. He is married to Sarah who is also a pilot but not in the military. No babies yet.
Our daughter Jill was married in 2012 to Fred Millard, a mechanical engineer, and are now living in Oxford Michigan. In 2013 they blessed us with our first grandchild Fred Thomas Millard who is the 5th Freddie for the Millard family! Jill retired from psychiatric social work to be a full time mother which was not a big leap!
Ben works for Bissel in GR. This was a recent job change for him and offers more challenges and growth. He is not married but has a wonderful girlfriend Courtney who has a beautiful 3 year old daughter Olivia.
John and I are looking forward to Christmas this year(2013). Little children will make a delightful difference! My brother Tom became a grandfather 1 week after I became a grandmother so we will have 2 baby boys and a 3 year old girl!!
The day I am updating this I will be meeting with Mary (Jalving/Wassink), Holly Palmer and Pam (Stolp/Bogus)for our annual Christmas lunch, which lasts most of the day! They are all well and happy! We have remained close friends for going on 100 years!
Merry Christmas to all you Panthers out there!
Be well.
