Ken and I have been married for 47 years. We got married on Valentine's Day, 1957. He is retired from Hughes Aircraft and I am retired from the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. at Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic. We lived in Santa Clarita for 40 years and raised both of our kids there. We moved to Tehachapi in 2000 after I retired. We have two sons, Dan, who got killed last November at 42 and Pat is 46.

Pat just moved down from Seattle to be with us now, so he's working here in town . I'm involved with TOPS where I've lost 25 pounds, I belong to Curves and I sing with the Tehachapi Summit Singers. We put on three shows per year here in town. I'm also selling Avon, so that keeps me pretty busy.
