About Me	I have worked the past 34 years as a RN and graduate of the class of 1976 at NLU. I raised three beautiful children by myself. At the time of my divorce the children were 8 (son), and two girls, 7, and 4. I then went back and got my Nurse PR actioner degree from the U. of Utah about 1990. (If I could start over I would have gone to Medical School. However when I graduated in 1972, a girl was not thought smart enough or something to do that.) My children are all happily married. I have 3 wonderful grandchildren .My son (has one boy) is a LCSW, my oldest daughter (has a son and daughter) has a MBA, and my youngest daughter is finishing her PhD in Biology. I have been able to be active in my profession. I have been able to be active in service for my community, as well as for the LDS Church I attend. I have survived a fall from my roof in 2001 which left me as a partial paraplegic. No one thought I would ever walk again, but I can, with the use of a cane, etc. I have been blessed genetically from my now deceased father, Dr. Donald Roberts, with a very strong drive to keep working and achieving. Fortunately I got some of his intelligence to make it possible. From my mother, Ann Marie Roberts comes my love of providing service to the community, and every aspect of my life. Before closing I have to pay tribute to Oscar Barnes, my Band Director at RHS. He taught us discipline, integrity, and a belief in ourselves. My most cherished High School memories are from being in his Band. I once asked him if a certain piece of music would be too hard for me to play as a solo on my French Horn for the yearly state solo and ensemble competition. He told me that I could do anything if I wanted it bad enough, and worked at it. T...(read more)
