Editor's Note: The reunion committee created a Reunion Booklet for our 1998 reunion - you can purchase it from us for $10.00 per copy. The booklet contains a number of auto-biographical sketches like this one as our Whatever Happened series continues.

Hello from Carson City, NV.

Moved to Arizona 1959, met & married Keith Lehman. Divorced after having 3 children. Worked for credit bureaus in Prescott, AZ and Las Vegas, NV. Went to work for Teamsters Union and retired from the union in 1976. Married Franklin T. MacDonald in August, 1976. Moved to Carson City, NV in 1983 when my husband became the state Labor Commissioner(he, too, worked for the Teamsters Union and that's where I met him). I am now a licensed social worker in geriatrics, having been in this field since 1986. We have 12 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

My children are ages 38, 36 and 35, respectively. My oldest son is a pilot for a corporation; my youngest son is a parts manager for an airplane company in Colorado and my daughter is a junior at the University of Nevada, Reno, NV, specializing in education. My daughter has a 20 year-old son and identical twin boys, both severely handicapped. My sons have 3 children each. A step-daughter lives in Junction City, Oregon and has 3 children of her own.

My husband is now retired and my "house husband." I continue to work in a long-term care facility in Carson City, NV.

My father is deceased. My mother, age 80, lives in Carson City. My brother, Don, died in 1973.
