W ho atti I
I was born in Germany. I
have been married 14 blissful years. We have one
I son and one daughter. My hobbies and activities
are car-pooling, avoiding parents at the grocery
store, cooking a mean mac-n-cheese, cleaning up
after others, and bowling at Players. If given the
I opportunity to skip work for a day, heading for Vegas
on the Thursday that March Madness starts sounds
like it might be fun.

One of my happiest days was
getting engaged, and the other was graduating I
from Grad School with my Masters Degree. Somel
of my favorite trips include scuba diving in the
Great Barrier Reef, backpacking for three months
in Australia and a three-week scuba diving trip ,
in Palau. Right now, my time is dedicated to
planning my wedding (for July) to my junior
high sweetheart.
I have been married 25
wonderful years and am most proud of our
children, a son, 22, and a daughter, 19. If you
were to catch me skipping work for a day, I
would probably be either reading a book or
quilting. Something that you m ay not know
about me is that I played in a celebrity tennis
tournament while in college.
My spouse and 1 will celebrate our 29th
wedding anniversary this May! We have two daughters,]
[ 25 and 21. My nickname in elementary school was
"Dinky," because I was the smallest kid in the class.
My hobbies and activities include photography, hiking,
traveling, jewelry making and reading. I've traveled a
lot, but Yosemite National Park renews my spirit.
H
My hobbies are cycling,
backpacking, family camping and summer
road trips with my spouse of ten years, who
happens to be a fellow English teacher, and
our two sons. Something you may not know
about me is that I once worked at Yellowstone
National Park and I have lost 80 pounds
between college and now. If given the chance
to skip work for one day I would go on a 100-
mile bike ride.
I was married for 28 years to my best friend. We have
three children, two sons, 24 and 22, and a daughter, 17.
My favorite vacation was driving a motor home across
the country to see the sights. Spiritually, my biggest
accomplishment was waking up, but physically my
greatest accomplishment was playing professional
baseball. The three happiest days of my life were the
day I got married, the days my children were bom and
the day I started loving myself.
iWho am I
My happiest moments in life have included getting
married and having four healthy and awesome
children. When I have the time, I enjoy reading,
watching TV, coaching football and baseball, working
out and building large amounts of muscle, and
horseback riding with my daughters. Believe it or
not, I am actually a big fan of working in my yard,
maintaining my flowerbeds and keeping my grass in
putting-green shape.
r
m I have been married 24 years to my high school
W sweetheart. I have two daughters who are 16 and 18
1 years old. I will have taught in the same school that
f my children attended 10 out of 13 years they went to
school. My three happiest moments of my life include i
an amazing vacation in Hawaii, finishing the one and
only marathon I ever ran with my spouse and kids
cheering me on and spending the last moments of my
Dad's life with him.
J l was married 30 years ago. I have two wonderful
J daughters, both in their mid 20's. I love gardening,
/bike riding and cooking, especially making pie.

'Something unique about me that some are aware
'o f is that I like hot rods, fast muscle cars. I have
r traveled abroad quite a bit and have been in
^parts of five different continents.
I was once nationally ranked for my age group
for swimming. I also played on a National
Championship football team. I still own my
very first car which is a Mustang of course! I
have been married for eight years and have
two children, a daughter who is 21 and a son
who is 1 8 .1 am proud of my perfect attendance
throughout high school.
