Where have you lived since high school?
 * Frank Phillips in Borger, UTPB in Odessa & Texas Tech in Lubbock for college
 * Big Spring, Tx for 1st job
 * Dallas after the wedding
 * Oklahoma City for 1st baby (and he is so proud to be an Okie)
 * Amarillo for birth of twins
 * Carrollton, TX to raise the kids in good schools
 * Amarillo for the rest of my life
 * Mobeetie eventually, where my name is already engraved on the gravestone - spooky, yes?

Current occupation: Best career move? Most embarrassing moment in high school? Finding myself in the Burger Chef restroom throwing up Southern Comfort and Coke, then finding myself at home looking for my bedroom - Jeff, are you the one that got me home? And I swear that is the worst I have been in my entire life!
 * Legal secretary at Wolfram Law Firm in Amarillo
 * Ranch hand under the tutelage of my mother-in-law Louise and, of course, Ben, who bosses me around, at the Bailey family ranch in Mobeetie
 * Actually going back to work at Newman Smith High School during the twin's senior year. After serving as PTA president and getting to know all the staff at NSHS, I figured I could handle an attendance job if my brain had not totally turned to oatmeal after staying home raising children for 20+ year
 * Accepting the job from Eric Wolfram at his law firm soon after Steve passed away. He and Steve had been great friends (in scouting and in their book obsessions) and we are able to share memories and laugh a lot.

Most embarrassing moment since high school? My most recent...Yakking with some lady friends about having to go home to wash cause I was running out of underwear and down to the Christmas ones...all the while some unknown man was standing behind me waiting to get into his safety deposit box. They just let me rattle on. Thanks a lot.

Best memory of living in Phillips and Phillips High School? Finding such good friends to grow up with. I have grand memories of playing Grey Wolf with my Emery Street buddies way into the night, riding bikes and playing Hatari all summer long after the movie came out...I was Brandy, naturally! Petting the horses at the stable at the end of my street. Traveling from house to house to visit my girlfriends and never a worry from my mother. Overnights at Patty Robie's and Susie Kilkuskie's houses and running around in the middle of the night. Sorry Chain and Ola, I'm sure you never suspected! Then there were you boys! But I never did kiss and tell.
