After graduation I attended Allan Hancock College, graduating in 1962. I then attended Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, graduating in March 1965. My first teaching job started in April 1965 at Rice Elementary School in Santa Maria. I taught kindergarten in Santa Maria for 5+ years. I married Ray Nelson in 1967 and our first son was born in 1969. Our second son was due in Oct. of 1971. At this time we decided that I would become a stay at home mom.
We moved to the Los Angeles area (Rowland Heights) in 1974. Our third son was born in 1975 and our daughter was born in 1977.
We became active in our church and in 1978 the church started a Christian school. I was a substitute teacher the first year. The school expanded the next year and I joined the staff as a full time kindergarten teacher for the 1979-80 school year. I retired in 2003.
We've always done RV camping over the years, so in 2003 we bought a 5th wheel RV and have done much touring of the US in the past seven years.
Since my retirement I've become interested in Major League baseball. I especially love the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (even though they are doing very poorly this season). Every spring we go to Arizona for the spring training games. We usually stay 5-6 weeks.
