We relocated to Las Vegas, April 2004, moving from Denver, CO. Our townhome is located in a gated community in Summerlin, about 20 minutes west of the Strip in the foothills, so we are a little cooler at 3,100 ft. Howard retired as the CIO for Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and I continued to work for Northern Trust until retiring February, 2006, having spent 7 years with them (Colorado & Las Vegas). My first retirement was from Bank of America in January, 2007, where I completed 35 ½ years with them. Howard has his own consulting business and also receives a pension from Lockheed, having spent 28 years with them. We were married October 21, 2005, 10 years to the day where we met in Tucson. The wedding and dinner took place at the Suncoast Hotel & Casino where we were blessed with over 70 friends and family attending. FAMILY: My son, Eric, lives in Mesa, AZ and manages a Bank of America Office located in the Mesa/Gilbert area. He owns his townhome in Mesa, is single, but had a lovely girlfriend who also works for B of A and attends night school to obtain her teaching degree. My sister, Judy Sorey, single, lives in Redwood City, CA and continues to work at Stanford University Hospital as a physical therapist. She has approximately 3 years to retirement. Both her sons live close by and she has a 1 ½ year old grandson. My brother, Jeff, lives in Mission Viejo with his wife and two grown children. I have three step-children, all living in California and two grandchildren. The two boys live North of LA and daughter in Modesto, CA. Both of Howard's siblings live in California, sister in Rancho Mirage and brother in Big Bear. So you can see our relocating to Vegas was great as family only live about 5 hours from us, making many trips to visit. AVOCATIONS: We graduated from the Citizens' Police Academy in December, 2006. With our interest in helping our community, we volunteer as much as possible. I work at the Northwest Area Command once a week in the Crime Prevention office. Howard is doing Neighborhood Watch presentations weekly (I tag along) and together once a week we spend an afternoon issuing handicap parking tickets. Seem to issue at least 6 tickets weekly. Our area command area averages some 600 tickets monthly at a minimum fine of $250. We are also taking advantage of classes offered to increase our knowledge and understand how the police department operates. We continue to travel as much as possible. We see many shows, both at our local casinos and on the Strip. We love big band music, but hard to believe Denver provided us more music there. We try to limit our gambling and enjoy hiking at Red Rock Canyon. STORY: Several years ago while working at the Grant & Craycroft Office, at that time The Arizona Bank, unbeknownst to me after coming from the restroom, I had caught my slip and dress in my pantyhose. Walking out to the platform and then out to the lobby to visit with clients, everyone got their eyes full. A fellow employee came to my rescue and still without me knowing what was going on, she tugged at my dress and put me back together. As you can imagine, once I was told what had happened my face was red and that had to be the most embarrasing moment in my life.
