Currently at the Memorial & Museum

On April 19, 1995, I was teaching second graders in Moore, Oklahoma. I was notified soon after the bombing because my aunt was a resident of the Regency Apartment Tower. After 38 years of teaching, I knew that I wanted to spend my time volunteering. I started volunteering at the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum on February 19, 2001 – the first day the Museum opened. Every week, I look forward to volunteering because I meet people from all over the world and get to visit with the staff members; they’re the greatest. The fun part of volunteering is getting to meet some of my favorite newscasters - Linda Cavanaugh, Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and Ann Curry. On February 23rd, I’ll be 72 years young and my plans are to keep volunteering for at least ten more years!
