bdgarrett@peoplepc.com Retired - Educator - Jr. High Married 2 2012-07-11 22:27:27
Spouse:  Larry
Children:  2 Daughters
Activities/Hobbies:  Volunteering, church choir, skiing, reading

After Wa-Hi I attended NNC, receiving my B.A. in History with minor in English; I got my “fifth year” from U of W; and years later I received my M.Ed. from SPU. I began teaching in a new junior high in Edmonds, WA and was able to travel extensively in Europe during one summer break. After seven years in Edmonds, we (now married) moved to Chicago where my husband got his MBA from the U of Chicago. I had a wonderful and unique experience of teaching in a Hebrew Day School near the U of C.
 
Our first daughter was born while we were in Chicago. We then moved to Beverly Hills and three years later our second daughter was born. After four plus years in sunny California we came back to the Puget Sound region.
 
We have been in our present home near Lake Washington for 32+ years where we enjoy the beauty of the mountains, Lake Washington, Seattle and the surrounding cities. 
 
My activities in the Bellevue area include civic/community events, Girl Scout leadership, and a broad range of service in my church, especially teaching and singing in the choir. I was grateful to be home while our girls were growing up, but then returned to teaching and shared my love of skiing by starting ski programs at three private schools. I left teaching in ’97, but after four years of relaxing I returned to work, this time at my church. After six years I “retired” again.
 
I love the Puget Sound area, but get back “home” to Walla Walla one/two times a year to visit family. I especially miss the Bee Hive, Gardners, the Book Nook, and the many specialty stores, but it’s great to see the new businesses and residential areas.

Overview of our life.

We have two wonderful sons.

Both sons graduated from the University of Oregon

 

Richard and his family live In Camas Washington. They have seven children and six grandchildren. (Good Mormon boy) It is hard to believe that we have seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Richard is a sales representative for The Tapco Group a company in the housing building products industry.

Chuck became a partner with The Broadway department stores, a Jr. Department store operation that had seven stores in Oregon and Washington. We moved to Eugene Oregon where the corporate office was located and Chuck supervised all the buying and advertising.

1977-1980

We sold our interest in the Broadway stores and Chuck and I opened an updated women’s apparel store in downtown Eugene. Our timing was not good. The eighties recession set in and we closed the store in 1980.

1981-2003

I was an account manager for Hallmark cards from 1988 to 2003. I had three accounts that I took care of and I enjoyed this job very much.
