This was taken at Yellowstone National Park in 2001 by a very dear friend. I had an awesome experience there as I was used to the landscape of Kentucky and the Eastern U.S. I had never seen anything like the Grand Tetons and the Sawtooth mountains,or the magnificent geysers at Yellowstone.

I graduated from St. Catherine Academy in 1969, which alas is no more. I know when I was at the academy there were many foreign students who boarded. All girls...I got an excellent HS education thanks to my parents,who only had six more younger.

I always thought I wanted to be a teacher or nurse, but I ended up working for my Dad in his insurance and real estate business. And my Dad taught me so much that when I married an Insurance guy later, he eventually had me working for him...though he told me at the beginning NO! He sold his agency in 1998 and I worked for the new owner until 2002.

But when I think back on all the past, I was a teacher to my kids and his kids, and a nurse for him in his last months.

I love my Cats through the good and the bad...always have and always will.

Go Wildcats!
