AFTER LHS GRADUATION BY BOBBYE

After graduation, I attended Sam Houston University and Shirley Skoog was my first roommate. We made many trips back and forth from Sam Houston to Lyford/Sebastion in my pink and white Ford. I was an art major/interior design and graduated with an all level art teaching certificate with a second teaching field in English. I started teaching in Houston and at that time was painting and entering shows. I had one painting accepted in a show at the Contemprary Art Museum in Houston and several of my watercolors were in various shows in the Southwest area. I married and moved back to the valley with my first husband. I taught elemantary art in Sebastion and Lyford for two years. (That was really fun!) We then moved to McAllen and later moved back to Houston. I taught 13 years in Spring Branch. I was doing mall art shows and met a interior designer who asked me to work with her. I loved doing interior design and continued for several years having fun spending client's money. I later divorced, moved back to the valley and now I am married to Daniel Lefner. He was a senior when we were freshmen. I sort of remembered him from school but was reintroduced to him in Harlingen by a friend. I have continued working in education. I was a reading specialist and then an assistant principal. I retired after 42 years but have continued doing interior design. I love what I do.
