Brief History: Married Cliff Pruett in 1972, then divorced in 1977. I taught 3rd Grade in Borger for 3 years, then moved to California in 1980. I was a co-teacher for a middle school summer program, learned I'd have to have an additional 30 educational units to teach in California & decided to look for other work since I needed to pay for a place to live and feed myself. So, I went to work & held various positions at McKesson Chemical Co. and Van Waters & Rogers (when they bought McKesson). Funny story - - when applying to McKesson the man interviewing me asked what chemicals I could name. Many of you know my dad worked as a chemist at the Copoly plant & the only thing I could come up with as an answer was carbon black & cis4 rubber. haha The man interviewing me told me later one reason I was hired was because he got such a kick out of that answer! I worked there from 1981 - 1993, met John Lynch there in 1983, started dating him in 1986 & we finally married in 1993. My husband convinced me to do something I liked so I decided to go back to school, but to teach preschool. I taught at the Orange Coast College Lab School (the preschool where college students did all their practice teaching & any observations) and also went to school to earn my preschool teaching certificate. We adopted our 1st son, Daniel, in 1996, bringing him home from the hospital at 1 day old. That's when I became a stay-at-home mom. Our other son, Ezra, came to us 1 week before turning 3 yrs. old in 2004. (They have the same birth mother, different birth dads) We feel so truly blessed to have these two precious sons!!! The adventure continues as I'm now a professional PTA volunteer (I'm sure as many of you were or are) & seem to have a need to get involved in any & every way I can at the schools (reminds me of my mom & dad always being involved). And I LOVE every minute of it!!! Current occupation: Best career move?

Most embarrassing moment in high school? My skirt being up around my waist when I slipped down a few stairs at school & trying to get it pulled down as Glen Guest was trying to help me up.

Most embarrassing moment since high school? hahaha! I'm not telling!

Best memory of living in Phillips and Phillips High School? Sooooo many great memories. Walking around anytime day & night & feeling safe! Night swimming, Phillips Free Fair, trips to Enid, pledging SF, Mrs. Creel getting on to Patty, Marsha & I for practicing our choir trio & not our flute trio during band, sleep-overs at friends & in the tent in my backyard, marching in the band, football games & the dances after, stuffing kleenex in chicken wire to decorate for the Harvest Moon Ball & Winter Formal, I could just go on & on!!
