What I've been doing:
Eddie Val. swears I graduated
from Miami. My father "had" to move to Globe; my sophmore year so I
"had" to go to Globe High School- hated it. I was discriminated
against "she's from Miami" I thought Globe students thought they were
better than Miami; it's all in their head. After leaving my heart in Miami;
graduated HS; became a Nurse 1980 in Phoenix. Married 1981 in the Miami Catholic
church; a 1977 Globe HS grad. Bought a new home in Globe. Daughter #1-
Erin-graduated U of A 5/05-staying in school for grad school Daughter
#2-Maralee-11th grade-2005 Globe HS-catcher for Globe Varsity softball since 9th
grade. This girl could go to college playing ball; we're taking her to ASU
softball camp 12/05. Husband teacher @ High Desert Middle School-Globe and Globe
HS softball coach As a nurse I cover Payson, Globe/Miami/San Carlos, Apache
Junction. Travel is my friend. This is the best job I have ever had. My
supervisor is in Phoenix; on Central--so I supervise myself. My husband, myself;
and children all born at the old Gila General Hospital and graduated/graduating
from Globe. (Sorry) Have no desire to live in a big city. We are central to
Phoenix/Tucson. The more I travel; the more I like Miami/Globe. That's a sign of
aging and retirement.
Memories of MHS:
Band. Slumber parties. I have a photo
with Lillian Cochran;Elaine Siniaho;Cathy Hess; Kris Zipsnis at a slumber party.
Traveling to Carlsbad cavern. Football games. Whitewashing the M. Lifetime
friendly feelings of my classmates from Miami.
