After graduation, I took what was supposed to be a short holiday to Miami, Fla. to visit my aunt for some "fun in the sun." I had been accepted into a radiology tech program at St. Francis Hospital, but instead I met my first husband and life took a big turn.  What a mistake!  But, I did end up with 2 beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed children from him. We divorced after 10 horrible years, and I moved back to Tulsa in 1981 as a single mom for about 12 years. Needless to say, life during that time was very challenging. In 1990 I met my current husband while working a temp job at his company. John is the "white knight" who rescued me from myself, Lord knows someone needed to! We will celebrate 21 years of marriage in September 2012, and have 3 adult children between us. We also have 5  lovely grandchildren ages 10 to 20. I no longer work for a paycheck, but I do various types of volunteer work  from dog/bird rescue to therapeutic horseriding. We enjoy living on 10 acres with our 3 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, 2 Paint horses, and 2 barn dogs.  I received an associate degree in occupational therapy, and have worked in several different environments including home health, sub-acute rehab, and with school children.  But, I found my niche in mental health and community social services as a case manager and counselor with non-violent female offenders and their children for over 8 years. My husband and I enjoy traveling and being involved with our grandchildrens' activities. We try to attend everything from football, baseball, and soccer games, weight lifting competitions, cheerleading and competitive dance conventions. Life is good, and life is full....Can't ask for more than that!!!!

I am still in the Tulsa and married my high school sweetheart, David Rogers, Hale grad of '71.  We have owned and operated Alpha Electrical Services, Inc. for the past 20 years. We have also worked in ministry for the past 15 years.  We travel to foreign countries teaching pastors and leaders the importance of reaching the children and youth of their countries and provide them with training and materials in their languages.

We have 3 brilliant children.  Aaron is an architect/builder in Tulsa and married to Jill, a structural engineer, Jessi is in commercial realestate in KC married to Brad, a fine wine distributor, and Anna is in her last year at OSU majoring in Art Education.

We have 3 grandchildren, Ella is 3, Blake is 6 months - they are Aaron and Jill's and Case is 6 days old  - he is Jessi and Brad's.

We are very blessed!
