I have been within 30 miles of Wheeling H.S.
For the last 23 years! For some reason even though I have called
the school and given them an up date on me they seem to want to
forget me. Was I that bad? Debby Berry, Theresa Johnson and I
wrote to the President of the U.S.A. And the commanding officer
at Glenview Naval base to get permission to have girls in NJROTC.
We were the first to present the colors at the Bulls game in
Chicago. I was one of the first girls in power mechanics. We
were prototypes for modular scheduling and taught left foot
breaking. I graduated a half a year early with 22 credits and
went down to Waco, Texas with the concert choir after I was out
of school and they were non-the-wiser! I did my own divorce in
1992 after 10 years and three children. One who is no longer
living from a car crash at 21. I have owned 2 resturants and a
construction company . Out of survival, without child support or
public aid I was forced to work in a man's world where the
dollars are. I currently am in the water sewer business by day
and own a metal refinishing company with my brother by night.
Wheeling H.S. did teach me one good thing ,never take no for an
answer!!! My brother is Bob Wiest, my cousins are Cyndi Wiest,
Randy Wiest, Laura Wiest, Michelle Straiker, Melanie Straiker,
Marybeth Straiker and Tommy Straiker. We all went to Wheeling. I
don't know how you couldn't of found me, but that's o.k. Delete
me if you will. I know where Wheeling is and I won't be voted
off the island!! Ha! Ha!! |
