Places I have Worked: I married Bill Baggett in 1970. We had to do a short
move to Fort Benning, GA. for Officer Training School. My husband started with State Farm Insurance, and had our office on 9th & 41 in Oshkosh for over 20 years. I was also a licensed
agent and we worked together.
Places I have Traveled: We are not big travelers. While with state Farm, we had conventions everywhere, but decided
we were homebodies who liked warm weather. Since we are heavily involved in water-skiing,
we dediced to sell everything and move to Florida. We retired in 1993 and have never looked
back. We do get back home to Oshkosh at least once a year to visit family and old friends.
This past Holiday I tried out the new ice rink in Appleton and while I was bragging to my children how and old lady and still skate, I fell and broke my wrist. Next year, we pick an age appropriate activity. We live at a great water ski site. There are 5 lakes dug just for skiing. We
are in the midst of a drought and had to shut down the lakes. We have not had rain since
Christmas. We need a hurricane to bring up the water levels. My husband and two other
friends run a Tae Kwon Do School for the city of Pensacola. Our son also helps teach.
About My Family: We have a son Brian, who is 12 and our Daughter Sara who just turned 11 yesterday. They are
in the 6th & 7th grade. We waited 18 years before we had children, so when they started
school that was when we decided to retire and spend our time with them. It has been really
worth it. We are at their school all the time. It is so funny to hear when you all are having
grandchildren. How special that must be. I hope we live long enough to see that. Our children
also ski in tournaments. I like to run, and try to do it in the early morning. We had a gator in
our lake a couple of weeks ago, which is really unusual. We left him alone and he went away.
Are you attending the 50th BD Bash? NO
The person I most want to see at the 50th Birthday Bash is: This is such a neat idea but we will be building a house in the next month
and will not be back to Wis. until Christmas. Have a good time everyone.
Maybe some of you snow birds will be coming to Pensacola some day.
Happy 50th to all!
