9. Tell us about your family: spouse, significant others, kids, pets, etc.

I married Jon (as many of you know personally) in May 1993, built a house outside of Carlisle in 1994 where we still reside…hard to believe we've been there 10 years! Sarah came into our lives in January 1996. She is our only child and our joy. We own a pontoon boat that we keep at Redrock Marina. We love it! Jewel, our Brittany Spaniel, is the newest member of the family arriving in January 2004. She is a pet for Sarah and a hunting dog for Jon. See how I rank?

10. Please attach up to three pictures of yourself, family, pets, and etc. to appear in the Reunion Highlights DVD. We prefer .jpg and .gif images.

11. Do you ever see other former Microware employees and do you have their email addresses?

I get occasional Christmas cards from a few, run into Lee Glenn now and then (because we both shop in Indianola), and call Sandee Cook when I'm looking for a job (she's how I found out about this). I can't WAIT to see everyone in August!
