Gail Moore Streun

I had a long career with the US Census Bureau, as a Statistician, Survey Supervisor, and Manager in the Dallas Regional Office. After I retired, we moved to Mexico, where my husband (Bill) had lived many years. After four years in Ajijic, Jalisco, we returned to Texas, and have enjoyed living in Seguin since 2009. We also lived in Sherman (where we met at Austin College), Houston, Austin, and Mesquite, Texas, as well as six months in Lima, Peru. Most of those years were in Mesquite.

Our son Nathan works for Verizon in Dallas. My only sister (Phyllis) died in 1998 of metastasized breast cancer.

We moved my Mom to Seguin from Oklahoma in June 2010, to a really nice assisted living facility. She celebrated her 99th birthday in March 2014, and passed away in Seguin on July 11, 2014.

It's no surprise, I'm sure, that I love to read, and especially like mysteries, and belong to a local book club. For several years I volunteered at our beautiful library one afternoon each week, cataloging Spanish-language books. I'm busy with the Friends of the Library, too.

I attend First Presbyterian Church here in Seguin, where I am an Elder. I also love words and puzzles and doing research, and often write historical articles for the church newsletter. I have long enjoyed gardening (herbs and vegetables) and learning about butterflies. I'm often at my computer, working on our families' genealogies. If you are interested, you can find me on Facebook.

Bill and I enjoyed attending the 50th reunion. We had been married for almost 48 years when he passed away July 12, 2012.

Since returning to Central Texas, I have enjoyed visiting from time to time with our classmate Michaele Thurgood Haynes. We enjoy seeing the MET Opera in HD performances together in a theater in San Antonio.
