Madre's RULE! I loved my high school years! I remember others being so scared , coming in from North Davis, but it was so easy for me, since most knew my Dad, the Coach. High School was one big adventure for me. I went to school to play and develope my "social" skills! lol I think I succeeded, don't you? Just don't ask me an Algebra problem. YIKES! And I still feel guilty for not turning in my English assignments to Ms. Smith, but I talk just fine!
Going to State, with the band and Choir, has to be the things I will never forget. (My first crush, came from band), and things like the Senior Class Committee, as we planned the dances, and getting the Senior Class to back my little brother, as he was elected Student Body President, 1975...
High School was good to me. Clearfield was home!

My story since high school, is just an ordinary story, with probably a whole lot more twists and turn, than most...
Left Utah when I got married, for Montana. Had two kids there. Beautiful, but way too cold, we moved to Lake Havasu, Arizona. Raised the kids, divorced the husband, and moved to Phoenix, where I discovered the love for Photography and sculpting.
I had years of a roller coaster ride from hell, but I won't get into that here. Let's just say it was years of lessons that were important to have, and some said I would never learn. I proved those people wrong, and am self assured, happy and content.
I came back to Utah because of the death of my little brother, Ryan. After being gone, 32 yrs. I felt the need to re-connect with family and old friends. I guess I was surprised that life had moved on for all of us, not just me, and I couldn't find anyone but Alene. With her, I can share everything, and still be that silly, bubbly, chatter box! Then, a new friend of mine, told me about the alumni association. I am so happy to be here at the slightest chance that I can reunite with people I considered friends.
