Spouse:  Robert

 I have lived and worked in Omaha since graduation.

 I was married in Independence, Mo in the chapel of the church that Harry and Bess Truman attended.  My only claim to fame! 

I worked as a bookkeeper and payroll supervisor, took early retirement in 1984 and have had a ball the past ten years.

 We live by the Golden Rule of Retirement--"Always put off until Tomorrow what you Could or Should have Done Today".
