I left O'G in 1971 without a plan or knowing what the future would be like. Fifty years later I can truthfully say the good, the bad, the joys, the tragedies get all intertwined with life. I can't separate the good from the bad and probably I don't need to. Bob Millette '71 and I married in 1977 and we have two children, Matthew and Ashley. Matt lives in OR with his wife, Kelly, and Ashley lives in MN with her husband, Matt. I have two grandchildren who I think are simply the best!
I married Dave Rowe in 2006 and we continue to live in Sioux Falls. We love to spend time with family and friends as often as possible. We have had some great trips including a Viking River Cruise down the Rhine. We like to golf (although I really am not very good) and we go quite often with our car club to different fun events. Dave is a retired cop, retired Air Force, active Shriner and DJ and currently with the Last Call Band. He keeps things interesting!
I officially retired in March, 2020. Now I can visit my kids and grandkids as much as possible. I hang out with one of my besties, Deb Conway Montoya and together we have managed quite a few girlfriend trips over the years! I don't have a big plan for the next 20 years, but I can only hope for continued good health and celebrate the everyday things that may come my way!
