Go Wildcats!

I was born at Oak Ridge Hospital, lived on Pelham Road, attended Pine Valley Elementary, Jefferson Junior High and ORHS.  I loved growing up in Oak Ridge, and remember the green grass and trees, the neighborhood kids, birthday parties, the huge pool, as well as our coal bin, 3-party telephone lines, the day they opened the gates, G-Road, air raid drills, proms, and much more.  

After high school, I received my B.A. in Psychology from Emory University in Atlanta, moved to southern California and received my M.A. in Organizational Development from Azusa Pacific University.  I was a mental health counselor for several years, and then moved into international Human Resources administration for 30+ years.  For 14 years, I worked with an international relief agency, working with disaster teams in more than 30 countries.  I lived in Sudan, Africa for one year until all Americans were emergency evacuated.  After that I moved into full time administration with several universities and retired from Cal Poly Pomona University at age 58.  Retirement was too tame for me, so I returned to work at a large hospital before retiring again.

I am married to Dr. Lane Scott, a most wonderful man.  Lane recently retired after serving 43 years as a professor and university administrator in Theology and Ethics.  We have two married sons and a daughter; six energetic granddaughters (ages 4, 6, 12, 13, 20 and 28), and a 2 year old great-grand son (finally, a boy!).  They all live in southern California and Colorado.  We also love animals and had 4 rescue cats and 2 dogs for many years.  

After 4o+ busy years in southern California, Lane and I retired 5 years ago to beautiful Arizona. It took awhile to get used to a slower life style, but now we love it.  We love the incredible scenery, the wide open spaces, and the wildlife here-everything from quail and roadrunners to coyotes and javelina.  We live in an active community with 8 golf courses, several olympic size pools and over 200 clubs, so we stay really busy.  We enjoy spending time with family and friends, and also love traveling and cruising (we love Europe but our favorite place is Hawaii).  We highly recommend the whole retirement experience!


I am excited to be able to finally attend the 50th reunion, and see my classmates as adults, although I will always remember everyone as kids.
