Helen Roof Selby Listen to Helen, just click on "play" button above. (Be patient, it may take a few seconds to load.) I live in Chula Vista - a city that borders on San Diego. We did live in Phx. up until 1990 and then moved to La Jolla and have stayed in the San Diego since. The desert still calls to us occasionally and I wouldn't be surprised if we end up back in AZ. We have traveled quite a bit, Caribbean Islands, Spain & Europe. Some interesting trips were to Poland before the Iron Curtain fell & then to Russia after it fell. A year ago we went to Malawi Africa to help with the AIDS victIms, orphans, widows & pastors of bush villages (very primitive) sharing the hope we can all have in Jesus! Then we went for a fun filled time in England & Scandanvia. We plan on going back to Africa in the Fall. FAMILY: My folks Tom & Helen Roof (Glover Cleaners & Tom Roof the Cleaners) both lived a long life. My Dad passed away first at 93 and my mom at 89. I married Herb Selby the love of my life and we will celebrate 47 years together in Aug. We have two wonderful children, Ruth & Mark. Between the two of them we have 7 grandkids. Our first granddaughter just got married this April - now how can that have happened already? My Daughter Ruth Mitchell lives in Mesa w/her husband Renny & my son Mark lives in Greenville, SC with his wife Beth (much to far away!). Two of my brothers still live in Tucson; Tom & Fred Roof, my younger brothers. Harry is in CO & Paul is in the Seattle area. All but Tom graduated from Catalina High! EDUCATION AND CAREER: After graduating from Catalina I went to the U of A for a year. I married Herb (graduate of T.H.S. & U of A) & moved to Phx. It has been the best thing I've done in life! We were on associate staff with a ministry called Campus Crusade for Christ & for approximately 10 years worked with college students. Soon they were married and we were able to speak into their lives and mentor/disciple many couples. In San Diego we have many Asian kids (late 30's - 40's) in our lives and they call us Mom & Dad, some gringo's too :). We have a regular Bible study that attracts those that are younger than us & they help keep us young! My passion is for many to know the joy & love of Jesus. AVOCATIONS: Loved to play tennis but have put the racket up and occasionally will try to hit a golf ball with Herb. So it is walking at the bay or ocean and go to Bally's Gym for execise these days. We are semi-retired from the consulting engineering business but busy never the less! I am living life to it's fullest and feeling blessed! |
