update 11/29/04
Ralph and I married in
November of 1953, spending the first two years of
married life in Long Beach, CA. After
Ralph got out of the Navy, we built a home in Prospect Heights, where we have been
since 1956.
After a few years of
working, I settled in to being a homemaker and Mom (of course one never retires
from those jobs). We have two sons, Rory, a Sports Reporter and Reid, a
Musician. Reid’s wife Stacey is a
children’s Music/Drama teacher.
Ralph is a retired Local
#134 Electrician, having spent his working years in and around Chicago
supervising a lot of work on the big downtown buildings. Since Ralph retired a few years ago, we head
out in our motor home every chance we get and especially enjoy heading down to
Florida and getting out of the cold winter months. Both of us have had our amateur radio licenses for many
years. Ralph is WA9SHH and Gerry is
WA9SHK, if we have any other classmates that are “hams”. We belong to the Family Motor Home
Association and wonder if there are any other RV’ers that we might see “on the
road”... FMCA number is F
157623.
