Jack and I have been married now for 51 years – which is hard to believe. Jack served in the Air Force for eight years, and he retired as a corporate pilot for Williamson Dickie in Fort Worth, Texas. There were ups and downs, but we fought hard to make things work. Jack is now 77 and still receives chemo – – past seven years – –for stomach cancer. We lost Christi our precious daughter to Huntington‘s two years ago at Christmas time. I have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and I’m under a doctor’s care for that. Needless to say, life has been hard and terribly wonderful, too!

I feel like I can handle the Parkinson’s, but it’s the insistent dizziness I’ve had for about 20 years that no doctor can seem to find a cure for. Dizziness impacts everything you do, especially if you have a movement disorder like Parkinson’s.

Next to my family, what really helped to shape me was earning two degrees – – one from TCU and another one from University of North Texas and traveling abroad to England three times because I have such a passion for British literature. I honestly think travel and college can change your life in many ways. I graduated summa cum laude from TCU.

I also wrote seven books for teachers,
I taught the gamut from ninth graders at risk to advanced placement seniors. I love them all!

School Story:

I really enjoyed Abilene High and still think dearly about some friends that I met there. A lot of you made quite an impression on me, and it is so difficult to look at the obituaries posted and realize these eagles have definitely flown on . I hold each one of you dear to my heart.

Our precious daughter, Christi, died of Huntington’s on December 26, 2023. We are devastated. She had been very ill for a long time, but the pain is very intense for all of us. Huntington’s is a horrible, unforgiving disease. I know that she’s no longer suffering. Please pray for Jack and Judy and family. I pray that all of you are doing well.

Well, I had a good cry this morning when I opened up the latest post and watched the collage of memories from Abilene High days! Kudos to the person who put that one together! My reunion check is in the mail!
