Twenty in 1958 - thirty in 1968
and so much in between!
It was a busy decade, as it will probably be for you too, my twenties gks!
and so much in between!
It was a busy decade, as it will probably be for you too, my twenties gks!
I was married at 20; Mark Robert was born when I was 22; John Scott when I was 24. Bob was accepted as an machinist apprentice at Hughes Aircraft at about the same time as we got married -- a prestigious appointment of about 20 young Tucson men.
When Mark was born I continued working as a legal secretary but part time, at home. The law firm supplied a desk,, typewriter, transcribing machine and the stationary, legal paper, carbon paper (!) and any other supplies I needed to transcribe tapes at home. Jack Donahue would drop the tapes off and I would type the documents; he would pick them up and drop off more tapes! I worked when I could, about 15-20 hours a week.
At age 26, things changed radically as Bob quit the apprenticeship program because we would have had to move to California to continue and we decided instead that he would go to UA to get an engineering degree. I started working full time again at the law firm and Mark and Scott went to Pender's School for day care. Bob switched to pre-dental, was accepted to the University of Washington dental school after three years of college, and so when I turned 29 we were living in Seattle, Washington. Mark was in first grade and Scott was in day care in downtown Seattle.
So I warn you almost twenties and early twenties folks -- it can be a chaotic and ever changing time, these twenties! It probably won't be marriage and babies that early for many of you, but excitement comes in many varieties! Enjoy every twist and turn!
