Tell us what's
happened to you since high school
(Feel free to tell us THE WHOLE STORY):
After HS married John Galongo and moved and lived in
Medford Oregon. John went into the US Army and during that time daughter Katrina
was born here and I followed John to Stugart Germany for a while. He had to come
back because his mother was ill. So then we followed him back state side to
Ontario CA. He finish his tour at Fort Ord, that is where Khristina was born.
Then after he was out we were back in Ontario. After awhile I left him and went back to Medford Oregon and then divorced.
There I met
Pieter and we were married and, because of Spotted Owl and job, it made it easier
to make choice to move. His family came for visit and gave us (me) all the pros
of moving to Canada. Family Allowance, mother gets paid $ each for having there
children (until 18). "Free" medical care (paid thru Tax's "ours"). As I did have a
baby that needed some medical attention, even with then being the second large
set of twins at Rogue Valley Hospital Medford Oregon at that time. (1st-7lb. 9oz
20 1/2" long / 2nd-8lb. 51/2oz 21 1/2"long) We had to pack all four children up
in a four door car and U-haul trailer and north bound we went to Saskatoon
Saskatchewan in July 1981. I honestly feel that we were to move to Canada so we
would have the opportunity to become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Through all of our Trials and Tribulations, loss of parents,
at the time the greatest loss of all was granddaughter 7mths old died in a
trailer fire Dec 10, 2000. That seem to bring changes to us all. But to know
that she is with Our Heavenly Father, and we are striving hard to get there
ourselves so we can see her again. She is only one of 14 grandchildren (one more
on the way Jan 08) it will bring us 15. Our winters are cold, can be
very cold -45c plus wind chill, and summer can be hot 45c. I love driving, We
drive all over the United States and Canada. We try to be snow birds as much as
possible in the winter time. What I love the most about my husband, beside being my soul
mate, is that Pieter loves the U.S. I drive Canadians crazy, but that's ok. Living life
to the best of our ability and waiting to really retire, and investment come
thru in the deep south so we can bask in the sun and watch the grandchildren
grow. I love it when I get paid to see things and places like Graceland, Alamo,
etc.

Which of your
classmates

There have been MANY thru the years that I have
wonder about. Now finding this site by pure accident trying to look up names
like Karen Allen, Christy A, Mary Fitzgerold brought me to this site. I was so
amazed couldn't believe my eyes.
