Rose Marie Evans After graduating, I moved to San Francisco, married in Reno, then moved to New Jersey. Returned to Tucson when I left my husband because the weather just made more sense here. I vacation in Puerto Vallarta and other places in Mexico and the Carribean, Hawaii and Thetis Island, Canada. This year 2004, I am looking forward to my first trip across the 'pond' to Spain. FAMILY: My mother was the best influence in my life but was taken by cancer in 1971. My father was a heavy equipment operator, mechanic and piloted his own plane. My first husband blessed me with 2 children. My son is an inventor and my daughter works with American Airlines so I take advantage of flight perks when I have time. My other 3 husbands were learning adventures. CAREER: I followed in my father's foot steps and became a heavy equipment operator for years. It afforded me the luxury of traveling to West Coast Swing dance conventions. It was 1979 that I was first exposed to swing dance clubs in San Diego. I decided if I wanted to dance, I had to teach. So I founded the Tucson Swing Dance Club. I was a judge at the U.S. Open Swing Dance Convention in 1983 and in 1984 won 1st Place in the Jack and Jill Division. I was nominated into the Legends of Swing. I took alot of classes at P.C.C. but decided not to pursue a degree. In 1984 I became a part time Mary Kay Consultant which worked very well around my busy schedule. After an accident on the job, which caused some physical problems, I thought it best to get back to a desk job so I could continue dancing. I retired in July, 2004 and absolutely love it. Can't figure out how I ever had time to work a job. OPINIONS/PASSIONS: I might mention that I'm a conservative and a 'card- carrying' Mormon. I dislike hard butter on soft toast and find that I distance myself from negative people, those who don't enjoy life. My passion is dancing. I look forward to find a dance partner to learn Argentine Tango and be able to embellish the steps. AVOCATIONS: All hobbies etc are mentioned in the above paragraph. STORY: Ah, yes. Being the oldest girl in the family, I was the one who got to do all the babysitting. I was fussing that my father would take everyone else flying and I wanted to go up with him and do a tailspin. He obliged and decided to make me wait until we went into the stall to do the tailspin. As we started into the nosedive, he said to take the control. That was my first real experience with G Force. I couldn't move my hands from my side to take the wheel and I just screamed "I can't move." He got a good laugh from it and I did too...after we pulled out of the tailspin. |
