Notes

(Medical):Tentatively diagnosed with Heriditary Spastic Paraplegia in the Spring of 2000.

I have lived and traveled all over the U.S. It's been wonderful seeing and experiencing the various areas. As a newly weds, we lived in Phoenix, AZ. We next moved to Lynchburg, VA. This was 1963-64 during the first of the sit-ins. We had never experienced segregation and it was surely alive and well there. In 1964-64 we lived in Richland, WA., where my husband worked at the Hanford Atomic Works. He worked a rotating shift, which was so hard. We knew it was just for a year, so we had that to keep us going. In June of 1965 we moved back to Phoenix where my husband worked for the G.E. Computer Department. Yes, G.E. was in the computer business. When G.E. sold the Computer business to Honeywell, we moved to San Jose, CA. to the G.E. Nuclear business. That was early 1968. We lived there for four years, before moving with G.E. to Manlius, NY, and the Television business in Syracuse. We were there for 12 years (until they closed television). Next was NH. A beautiful state but a difficult one for an 'outsider'. No one spoke to us, and we were given the finger more times that I can count. We were there for four years before moving to Wisconsin to join G.E. Medical Systems just outside of Milwaukee. We spent 12 years there before retiring and moving to Colorado.
