I was married to Steve Rich (Truman HS 1975) in April 1978, we have 2 children a boy and a girl. We live in Independence and have for 20 years. I work at AT&T in Kansas City and have been working there for 28 years. Steve and I enjoy traveling and having a good time with our family and friends. We hope to retire and live at the lake of the Ozarks. I still would like to communicate and socialize with my classmates so, send me a message! 2007 update... Still married to Steve, the kids have left the nest so, we are beginning to remind ourselves and to remember what brought us together in the first place. We are taking cruises and I am now retired from AT&T. |
