Betty Pickard (Hardin)

City: Corpus Christi
State / Province: TX
Marital status: Married
Occupation: teacher
Comment: Until Dec. 1991, I worked in Dallas for SWBT Co when they graciously offered me a "golden parachute" because the company was downsizing.  I then completed my degree at UTA and became an elementary educator at Kemp ISD.  Kemp is a small town at Cedar Creek Lake.  June 2009, I left teaching (for awhile).  My husband, Bob, and I moved to Corpus Christi where we live on a golf course and about a mile from the beach.  I love  it!  I also love travelling.  As I write this (Aug.), I am enjoying sitting with the windows open at 4pm (no need for ac) in Estes Park, Colorado.  I hope to travel back to the metroplex for the reunion.  Whoever put this website together, thank you.

State / Province: AZ
Marital status: Married
Children: 1
Occupation: Engineering Program Manager
Comment: After graduating from UTA in 1971 I have continued to work in the helicopter industry for going on 42 years now.  We moved to Phoenix, AZ in 1987 and I currently work at The Boeing Co, in Mesa, AZ.  I've been married to my wife Geneta (Anderson) Plaster for 31 years now.  Geneta was a 1965 graduate of Eastern Hills HS in Ft. Worth.  Geneta just completed her 25th year with Astra Zeneca Pharmaceuticals as an outside sales rep.  We have one son (stepson for me), Trent who is now married to Sheila and living in Flagstaff, AZ.  We have 2 dogs (Misha our Lhasa Ahpso and Ruby our Golden Retriever) and one cat.  When we are not working (which, unfortunately, is most of the time), we spend a lot of time serving at our church (Central Christian Church of the East Valley in Mesa).  For recreation we play a lot of tennis, snow ski when we can and spend as much time as we can on the beach in Mexico (we have a condo in Puerto Penasco which is a 4.5 hour drive south of Phoenix).  I haven't seen anyone from our graduating class in at least 25 years.  It will be good to catch up with all that can make the reunion.
