Profile Updated: March 2, 2024
What did you do right after high school? Bountiful, UT USA
What is on your "yet to do" Bucket List? More travel with my husband of decades, George Kenneth Dillon.
What did you do or think you would do right after high school? Went to the University of Utah
Occupation Semi-retired; working part time in education
Children/Grandchildren? One son and two step-daughters, many grandchildren.
If you could go to another country, where would it be and why? What countries have you been to and which one is your favorite?

I served in education as a teacher and administrator and retired from Granite District in 2014 after 44 years. I then worked part-time with Western Governors University and am currently with Cognia. My husband and I have enjoyed traveling extensively lately, most recently to Machu Picchu and Galapagos Islands.

Do you have a School Story, funny memory or something that you can share?

I remember the skeleton in Harvey Price's biology classroom, probably only because the day we dissected frogs, Curtis Warrick hung a skeleton of the frog next to it. I think I'm right about that, Curtis.

I am so sad to hear of Marcia’s passing.  My memories of her in high school and of our brief encounters at the U are filled with the warmth she extended and the intelligence she exuded.  Seeing her at our fiftieth reunion was a renewal of the genuine interaction she could achieve in short moments.  Her accomplishments are heroic.  I send deep sympathy to Robert and her family.  May her memory be eternal.

I remember sweet Mary from childhood.  Her mother was a big part of life summers at YMCA Camp Roger, and Mary was there, too.  At school, she surely was the sweetest, most humble, and kindest person with me and everyone she encountered.  Learning about her beautiful life is some solace.  She will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing.  In high school he was always smiling.  The last time I saw him and his lovely wife was at our reunion.  Jim was as buoyant and as full of fun and laughter as ever, and this is a loss to our class.  I send condolences to his family.  May his memory be eternal.

Kalyn, your teaching career, including the advocacy for teachers through DEA, UEA, and NEA are so noble, and your food blog enriches me and others. Thank you.

Candy was always smiling and never failed to bring grace and smiles to those she encountered.  I will miss her at our luncheons and in my heart.
