Accomplishments
I have had an amazing life! I was trained very well with great coworkers. I have had a well-rounded life. I love to give my time with people when they need it. I enjoy encouraging people to do the best that they can do. I have met many important people including Dr. Thoralf Sundt who was President Reagan's Doctor. I also was a USA swimmer, and we were so tough that we achieved a number one swim record in the nation (relay team). I I believe in living life to the greatest, and to take care of each other. I am very happy that I became a nurse!
National Record Relay Swim Team with Hunstville Swim Association
It was in Nashville, TN. The pool that we were at was a "fast pool". We had THE BEST coaches at Huntsville Swim Association. They encouraged us in the right way. We were all so close. I will never forget my youth!
