Dawn Alt-McKenzie Klukas

Well what to say? Alot has happened to me since High school. Two days after we graduated, I moved to Centerport,Long Island. I was a nanny for a wonderful baby girl for a year. While there i tried to cut my finger off, with a bread knife, while prying apart frozen hamburgers. I was also a singer in a band. It ended very badly when the whole band was killed in front of me. My fiancee, who was the guitar player, and I got into a fight and I refused to ride in the van with him. So I took his car and was horrified to watch a semi truck run a red light and total the band. They were all killed instantly. I was in contact with Michelle Konkle at the time as well. She came out to visit over christmas and we did the tourist thing in the big apple. The highlight of the trip was seeing Cats on broadway. When that stint was over, I moved back to Wi and attended UW-Madison. Wasn't very successful there as I was hanging around with the UW Marching band. The tuba section are very hard partiers and to say the least I had fun while there. After Madison, I started to bounce around for the next couple of years. I found myself in places like Chicago,Baraboo,Sauk, And eventually settled in Lodi where I met the father of my daughter Chloe.Three years into the relationship I found myself pregnant and lost him. Unfortunately I found him again and the next 7 years would prove to be hell on earth. The only good thing to come out of that relationship was my daughter. If I could, I would lose him again, but unfortunately Chloe still seems to like him. I owned a house in Reedsburg, for a couple of years, but lost that when I was laid off from my job. So I relocated to LaCrosse and have been stuck here for the last 4 years.
Lacrosse has proved to be the best thing to have happened to me. While here, I found my soul mate, in my husband Michael. This memorial day weekend will find us married for two years now.
We have been through some tough times in these last two years. My mother almost died from a disease called neuro sarcodosis and my husband was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. This basically means that he is disabled and we are currently fighting with the government to receive SSI benefits. He blessed me with two step children that we would both like to step on. Neeedless to say,they are only in our lives when they want something.
Chloe remains the one shining star throughout all of this. She plays the violin,runs in two 5ks every year, is a peer mediator,on student council, and runs the school store. She also manages to pull off straight A's,and has a blossoming art career as her artwork can always be found on display in some bigwigs office in town. All this and she is only ten. She is already starting to bug me about driving. Does it ever end?
Well I guess that about sums it up for me. Even though I haven't seen most of you since high school I find that I am looking forward to the big one in 2009. Until then stay safe and have fun!
