My first husband, Bob Alliston, died in 1979, and I remarried in 1981 to another Boeing engineer, Pete Beaupain.  Between us we have 6 children and 6 grandchildren including two adopted from Russia.  Pete flunked his first retirement and has been back working as a contract engineer for the last 4 years.  He was working on the Dreamliner but moved over to another program working on planes that actually get off the ground.  I worked for a number of years managing a media library for the Puget Sound ESD (those of you in education will know what that is).  Our library closed down not long after the demise of the old 16mm film and invention of DVD.  My last employment was at Green River Community College as a reference librarian, a job I really loved.  We had kids from all over the world and I was never bored.  For the last month I've been nurse and chauffer for my husband during his recovery from double knee replacement.  Yes, both knees at once.  But he's so obssessive about work he clocked 30 hours from home in the first two weeks after surgery!  My current activity centers around my church and my gym where I'm working out 5 days a week trying to keep arthritis and old age from winning.  Hope you all have a good time together.  I've really enjoyed reading all your bios.
