I graduated from Lincoln Grade School in 1952 and Butte High School in 1956.   Following graduation I married Edwin (Ted) Richards.   We have three chldren, three grandchildren and are expecting our third great-grandchild in December.

    We were blessed with fifty-four wonderful, fun filled, years together - plus having all our family here in Missoula.   Sadly, Ted died in 2010.

    I retired in 2008.   I spent most of my working career in the health care industry.   The last fifteen as an office manager.

    Change is hard, but thanks to my family and loving and caring friends I stay busy and happy.   This past year took two trips to California and went on a Mediterranean cruise.   Enjoy decorating and yard work.   Used to love cooking but now just love to go out to eat and fortunately so do my friends.
