1960

I married Fred in 1962 and had daughter Sheryl Ann in McNary, AZ in 1963, when Fred was teaching in Whiteriver, AZ for 3 years. We then moved to Kearney, AZ. Son Daniel Frederick was born in Tucson in 1968. I have been a 'stay at home mom', active in church and community work and at school when my kids were still home. Fred received his Ed.D. In 1987, while working as the manager of the Chamber of Commerce in Kearney for 4 1/2 years. He retired in 1995 and most of our time is spent doing some traveling, but mostly spending time with our children and grandchildren. Fred has a wonderful wood working shop and has made some lovely things from mesquite, oak or old barn wood. We also collect antiques. We plan to retire in the Camp Verde area, where Fred grew up and our son and daughter-in-law now live and teach. We have 4 grandchildren, Zane 16, Jerad 8, Shannon 6 and Wyatt 16 month.
