OKAY - TAGGED AGAIN - HERE I GO

1. When I was a teenager I wore braces on my teeth because they protruded
Lucky for me the braces did not keep my husband-to-be from dating me.

2. I and a friend who attended school with me from Kindergarden thru
High school graduation were voted to be Queen and King of one high
School dance.

3. When a young girl I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout. I especially liked
summer Girl Scout Camp.

4. I loved to swim. I passed the Red Cross test that qualified me to be a
lifeguard. So I was the lifeguard for a camp for one summer. Ron came
to visit for a week-end but since his car got stuck in the mud he spent
two extra days getting it out of the mud.

5. After I married I lived with my husband near the Ohio State University
campus and got a job as a clerk-typist at the Ohio State Univ. Alumni
House. My job was to update alumni information-new addresses and
news items about the alumni which were kept on file. After Ronna was
born I was allowed to work in the office after work hours while watching
and attending to Ronna who was in a near by playpen. The bosses liked
and trusted me and were very kind to me.

Hey do you have a picture of me in that play pen?

I don't think I have that picture except in my mind and your Dad's mind.

I had no idea you ever had braces. I always just thought you had great teeth!

I love learning these things about you. You should do this more often.

Now if only employers still allowed the playpen at the office!
