Moved to Kansas City area in 1992, after Clair was transferred there with Sprint, and I began work with the IRS in Olathe, Kansas as a Program Analyst with Mission Assurance and Security Services in 1992. Clair retired in 2006, and, while I have the years in service with the federal government to retire, I love my work so I plan to stay another few years.

We purchased the Belleville Cable TV company in 1970, added six more companies before selling it all in 2001. Always active with my children: school, scouting, up through the After Prom party for the high school. Volunteer work with the library, the picture-lady program to introduce art work, Free University, Chamber of Commerce, especially with Christmas lights and programs. From that volunteer work, I built a catering business in Belleville, Manhattan, JC and Concordia, and then became a wedding consultant. Started Kansas Baskets to promote Kansas products approved by the Department of Agriculture, first for Bloomingdales, then to most of the US and several foreign countries. . . could have become a very good business, but kept me too busy. I am a breast cancer survivor, and have done the Avon Breast Cancer Three Day Walk (20 miles each day; didn’t do the whole 60, but a very good experience) and raised money for the Susan Korman Breast Cancer Foundation. In Colorado, we volunteer at Harmony Horseworks, a shelter for horses that are abused, neglected or no longer wanted, and made available for adoption. I enjoy my grandkids, reading and travel . . . one day I’d like to see Egypt.

Married in 1969, and during my husband’s Army years, we traveled to Kentucky, Louisiana, Germany, Korea, with postings back in Kansas in between, then to Alabama and retirement after 21 years in the service. Decided to move to Florida to be closer to my mom and Dad; 19 years later, and tired of the hurricanes, we moved to Tennessee, a decision made easier by the fact that our only daughter and her family are there. My work experience has been varied, but mostly in the clerical and administrative areas, both as a supervisor and a worker bee: electronic scanning, filing and a lot of governmental work; would love to get back to that, but we are away from the military bases and those positions are pretty slim. I am currently working as a data control technician, basically data entry and research. Our hobby is cars, namely Camaros; we have a 1971 Camaro that we have restored and take to car shows all over the place . . . and a garage full of trophies from national and local shows.

We have also started “cruising” and hope to do a more of that.

The years have gone so quickly; Sam and I will be married 40 years in February. Still live on the farm, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and I love to garden. I walk several miles every day in our pastures or to our creek. I certainly don’t live life in the fast lane – it’s a good life.
Children: three sons, all grown. Matt and Eric farm with us. Matt lives down the road, and Eric lives next door with his wife and our only grandchildren, Heston Samuel. Doug is married and in Pennsylvania.

Joined my husband Joe Moore (JCHS class of 1964) in Germany in 1966. We moved to Colorado Springs, and Joe died in a car accident in August of 1972; our son was four. In December 1974, I married Alec Urquhart, a fantastic man with a wonderful sense of humor and self confidence, who loves me more than life itself. After his Army service, we moved to his Montana farm, then back to Colorado Springs. I am a retired medical office manager, having worked for a family practitioner, an orthopaedic surgeon and a neurologist. We have traveled by RV and on a cruise ship, and often go to the NRA range in Raton, NM. I enjoy all kinds of needlework and reading.
Spouse: Alec Urquhart
