From Rose Mary:Spouse: Leonard
Children: We have 3 children & 1 Foster Girl
Grandchildren: Seven
Great Grandchildren: Four

I moved to Walla Walla May 6, 1947 from Cedar Rapids, Iowa and started school in Sharpstein. We lived at 617 S. Park Street. We moved three months before school was out when I was in the sixth grade to Prescott. I skipped the seventh grade and moved to Pasco the third month of my 9th grade. We moved again to Burbank at the end of my ninth year and stayed there. I graduated from Burbank in 1958. I married Leonard Klug on December 28, 1958 and we just celebrated our 50th anniversary. We have three children and one foster girl, Seven Grandchildren and four Great Grandchildren. Most of my life has been spent being a caregiver. At the present I take care of my Mother who is 99 and my husband, and grandchildren when I can. We've had a wonderful life and I think about my time at Sharpstein with fond memories.
