Forty years--Wow!!
My Life since 1966: Married Gilbert Johnson
(class of 1964) in 1968 and had three daughters. Hope married
Scott Andal and live near Salem, SD with their daughter Bryetta, 14. Jennifer
married Brian Eli and live near Irene, SD with their three boys: Taylor
(12), Zackary (8) and Jaeden (4). Sara married Scott Meyer
in November 2006 and live in Marion, SD.
Gil and I started out in the Vermillion area where Gil worked for
ElectoMagic and I worked at Toby's. We then moved to the Hurley,
SD area
with my mom, Evelyn in 1980. There we farmed and raised hogs
as well as
kept up the horse-riding. After 10 years there, we moved north
of Hurley
and Gil went back to welding at Koyker's in Lennox until his early
retirement in 1999 and I worked at the grocery store in Parker as
Produce
manager until August 2005. We then moved into Salem, SD where
I started
working for my daughter Hope in her
daycare. Gil passed away December 9,
2005. We had 37 good years & could have used some
more.
It's been a busy 40 years...they went by fast. |
