Vicky Hebrink Frerker
I married Ron in 1966. We still are together after all these years! We have four children. Our oldest two, Mike married to Allison, parents of our granddaughter Cali, and Bernadette married to Larry, are both living in the Chicago area. Our third child, Ron, and his partner Grace, live in Lawrence KS where they are awaiting my second grand child [expected this April.] Our youngest son, Ted lives in the St. Louis area.
I graduated from the U. of MN: B.S. and M.A. in Speech Pathology. I first worked in the special school district, then the field of mental retardation and then finally in early childhood developmental delay. I worked part time during most of my career. In fact, I still do, for a program called First Steps, for children under the age of 3. I like to pretend to be a grandma since my grandchild lives so far away.
We moved to St. Louis in 1968 and live in our 100 plus year old house in an older part of town. At first we considered our selves urban pioneers but now the area is pretty nice.
Our main family recreation is sailing [more cruising than racing now] in big and little boats at Carlyle Lake in IL. Reading, in two discussion groups, is my favorite pastime.
My mother still lives in Fridley at a senior apartment. She may have been a teacher to some of your siblings or children.
HI Vicky, Do you remember Bonnie Dykoski? I can't believe I found this page, kind of by accident. It really is 50 years since I've seen you. Don't know if you would remember me since our family moved to Michigan after our Freshman year, but we did keep in touch for a while, and I made a couple of visits back to Minnesota, even working there the summer after we graduated.
ReplyDeleteMy husband, Jerry Gray, and I visited your Mom once in 1975, after we had adopted our baby daughter, who was 6 months old then. We had a son when Amy was 4. They are now 36 and 32. We have one grandson.
I had always wondered if you stayed in St. Louis.
Sad to see so many of our classmates have passed away. I recognize a lot of names, since we all went through the elementary and junior high years together.
I would love to hear from you. My email is: begray222@gmail.com.
