Myna Meissner Stroth We live in Scottsdale, AZ. and have lived in the Phx. area since 1970. As newly-weds, we lived in Drexel Hill, PA, while my husband was doing his anesthesiology residency at the University of PA Hospital. FAMILY: My husband, Dr. Ron Stroth, was an anesthesiologist at Scottsdale Memorial, now Scottsdale Osborn, for 25 years. We have two children: Dr. Bob Stroth who is a pathologist at the new Banner Hospital in Gilbert area. He and his wife live in Scottsdale, but, alas, no grandchildren. Our daughter Stephanie owns a wine bar in the West Portal area of San Francisco. She is married to Keith McCardell who works for Euler- Hermes.They are in love with SF! No grandchildren from them either! EDUCATION AND CAREER: I graduated from the U of A and taught school in Garden Grove, CA for a few years until I married. I was a stay-at-home mom until our kids were in high school. I attended ASU and got my Master's in Education. I taught at Phoenix Country Day and Madison Simis teaching gifted kids. OPINIONS: I'm an Obama Mama! Anybody but Dubya who has done tremendous damage to our country both at home and abroad. Enuf said! AVOCATIONS: I played tennis for quite a few years and now I'm getting back into golf. I am an exercise freak--go to the gym every morning except when I have yoga 2 times weekly. We've owned a cabin in the pines in Munds Park for 11 years where we spend 4-5 months of the summer socializing with friends. We LOVE to travel--all around South America, Vietnam, China, Korea, Thailand, Spain, England, Ireland, France, Portugal, etc. In September of this year 6 of us are going on a private safari with our own guide to Tanzania. I was also on our homeowners' board from 2000 -2006 as VP/Pres. and also in charge of landscaping. That was in Scottsdale Country Club Village where we still reside. STORY: I am fortunate to be having a wonderful life. There are a lot of stories. I guess the best one is meeting Ron when I was teaching in CA. He was in Long Beach as a medical officer on the aircraft carrier Hornet. I met him one night in Newport Beach, toured his aircraft carrier that night, got rear-ended as he drove me home, ended up having a coast-to-coast relationship for 2 years, and got married in Tucson. We pulled a U-Haul to PA for our honeymoon, pulled the back bumper off my new Mustang somewhere in Oklahoma, and had a tiny upstairs apartment for 3 years in Drexel Hill, PA where I nearly froze to death for 3 years before settling in Phoenix. We are really enjoying these retirement years. |
