I have mostly been a "stay at home" wife and mother
One of my favorite memories is spending my ISP in the restroom with Gail Jenner Lough, playing Gin,
eating kippered snacks, cream cheese and crackers, then getting in fights about cheating!With all the yelling, we almost got caught!__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Admin Sales - Cement Manufacturing
Married to Michael Carpenter (class of '69). We have five kids - Nicole-32, Brandy-29, Christopher-27, Cary-26
and Casey-22. I have worked for Ash Grove Cement Company for the last 25 years (the cement plant that'sold site is now Oswego Pointe) and Michael is a retired firefighter from Tualatin Valley Fire. Our youngestgraduates from college August '02. I'll work another seven years and will retire at 55. We have a second homeat Black Mountain in Eastern Oregon. Spend time there snowmobiling, four-wheeling, relaxing and practicingfor retirement. Have 11 grandkids (four inherited with marriages)--can you believe it. Have had some healthproblems with my heart, but doing fine now. Feel great. Glad we have reached this point in our lives.Really taking time to "smell the roses" and relax after so many years of working and raising a family.Just attended our 30th reunion. Shame on anyone who did not go. We had a fabulous time and thank you
to the committee that put it all together. It's so awesome to feel and leave all those high school anticsbehind and enjoy the people for who we are. It was a terrific evening and I encourage anyone who hasn'tbeen attending their reunions to do so.Favorites: Football games, dances afterward, pep assemblies, the apple machine at the top of the stairs by
the office. Home Ec - Ms. Pitts. Meeting and making life time friends.Least favorite: Mrs. Brooks sent me to the office for sitting with my leg under my bottom under the desk
rather than both legs on the ground. It was right after rally tryouts. Mr. Zacur said my punishment wouldbe that if I made the squad I would be removed to alternate. Guess what, it happened.....that has stayedwith me all my life. Parents now a days would have gone to him and told him to "stick it", but rememberthe early 70's. Teachers, principals were gods to our parents. Guess it's time to get over it. The only goodcoming from that may be that I was the charter Wilsonville High School Booster Club President working forthe good of all students (my kids included).________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
