They were Burton's. My mom is Alice (now Weakley) and my Aunt is Grace. I am now an Aust, for those of you in the Pacific Northwest (Spokane & Puyallup) who might know the family. My FIL graduated from Auburn, and also his two sisters. |

Your family must have been there after 1965. The only Alice I knew was Alice Dotson. There were several girls named Grace, but no Grace Burton. I was really excited there for a minute that we had a point of contact.
That's okay. We are still sisters here.

Public school here! And I've been trying to figure out how only two years at WWC could create just as much warped theology as all of you had during your elemntary years. There was no religion spoken of in the home that I can recall. But I was an avid reader, always bringing home books from the church library.
The only other thing I can think of is that my SS teachers hugely impacted me.
Praise God... |

It sounds like we are from all over the map here! My "history" -
White Memorial Elementary (grades 1-3), San Gabriel (4-8), Newbury Park Academy (9-12, class of '69), La Sierra College (Fresh, Soph), LLU (Junior and part of Senior, OT), then dropped out!
Lived in East LA, CA; Loma Linda; Chandler, AZ; Fullerton, NE; La Sierra, CA; Wichita Falls, TX; Valdosta, GA; Vacaville, CA; Hillsboro, NH and now Redmond (near Seattle), WA.
I've attended SDA Churches in all these places and have seen how cultural the SDAs are since each place we lived had different "rules" about what was acceptable, and they all differed! What was good one place was a sin in the next. That was a big eye-opener!
My son went to Waldorf Schools, SDA schools, Auburn Academy and Walla Walla College. My daughter went to Public elementary & junior high schools, Auburn Academy, and Public college.
Neither of them are SDA now, however my daughter who had only two years of SDA school is a Believer! My son who had the most SDA education is Agnostic. What does that say?!
I am so happy my grandaughter (my daughter's daughter) will not get all that indoctrination. I take her with me to Church and she is learning the Joy of Christianity.
With all the places I've lived it seems like I should have crossed paths with a few of you!
It looks like there are several on here from the NW! Maybe sometime we can all get together for a visit! |

Dakota Adventist Academy, Bismarck, ND.
I attended alumni days last fall for the 20-year reunion. The first thing one of my friends asked me was, "Have you left the church yet?" I nearly fell out of my chair! I had just made my decision a few days before...

Tisha, my mother went to Newbury Park Academy at the same time as you for a couple years, although she was a grade ahead of you.

Seekr777,
I have you beat by a few years, but I am not saying how many. I graduated from high school before you. So It looks like I am the Grandmother of the bunch. What a wonderful group to be grandmother of. I love each of you.

Dear Loneviking, You said Armona Academy. Do you mind saying the general decade? I know many, many country people from that general area. It's a wonderful farming area. I attended Reedley College. I grew up in the feilds not far from there. i love it over there. Remember the fog all winter long? The intense heat in the summer? |

Tisha, I don't feel comfortable on the internet sharing too personal information, however I think you may have attended Newberry Park Academy with a cousin of mine. She would have been a senior tghough when you were either a ninth or tenth grader. Small world! |

DD, I'm joining Diana and Seekr777 from a different generation (but only in chronological age, not heart, mind and energy level!). I graduated from high school in 1962 and attended WWC from 1962 to 1964 when I married my husband and transferred to Portland State College. (I see you are/were from Portland.)
Praise God... |

How about the flies from the dairies! We didn't call the school 'Aroma Academy' for nothing. I graduated in 1979. |

I LOVE the daries! Within several miles from my house were four daries and two pig farms. We always knew when the cattle and pigs were being hosed down because the flys would come spend some time visiting at my house. And, those horse flys are huge! My second son got his very first real wage-paying job at the livestock auction on Sat. and Sun. every week at age 11 (I think 11) and he kept that job until he was 18. I majored in ag at Reedley College. In 1971 I placed third in the State of California at the livestock judging competition up in San Francisco at the Cow Palace in Shorthorn Cattle. You went to SDA school but had you gone to the public school you could have been in FFA, probably the most wonderful club for high school kids in our entire country. My other son, not the one who worked at the livestock auction was very involved in FFA. He grew corn each summer so he could earn his money for new school clothes. It was the best tasting corn I've ever tasted, like eating little kernals of sugar. I love it. I love it. I love it out in the way rural areas. I am not acclamating very well to city life. The one I mentioned who grew the corn, well he ended up at Monterey Bay Academy for four months. The ONLY thing he liked about that school (other than the beauty and the ocean, etc.) was the dairy. Seeing as how the only thing he liked was the dairy he only managed to last there four months. Then came home and went back to his public high school with the country kids. Have you been to that area recently? Lemoore Naval Base has greatly expanded. The Navy has such a huge presence in that area now that the navy built a new high school in the town of Lemoore. Gosh, it's so beautiful over there! Thinking of the beauty of the farms just makes me gasp. |

Since I converted after high school, I can't list an Academy. But I was Andrews University between '83 and '87. |

Tisha,
I noticed you started the OT course at LLU then dropped out. I am an OTR. I also noticed you lived in Wichita Falls, TX. When was that? I was director of the OT department at a rehab hospital there when it opened in 1992. When were you there?

Diana,
I was in the OT class of 1973 (I think!). I completed three plus years. I was married to a man in the Air Force. When LLU changed my internship at the last minute, with the intent of keeping me separate from my husband, I dropped out. They told me I should choose between being married and finishing my degree! And I was a good student! I thought I might finish when my husband went to Viet Nam but I never did.
After I got divorced I went back to school. I finally graduated from Bastyr Univ in 1997 with a BS in Applied Behavioral Science, with a focus on Organizational Development. And I work as a Technical Designer on the Boeing 737! Before I was a Designer, I was a Technical Illustrator on several different airplane programs (767, 747, 777, 757). How mixed up is that?! But I like what I do so that's what counts!
My husband (now ex) was stationed (temporary duty) at Sheppard AFB in 1973-74 and that is where my son was born. We actually lived in Burkburnett(sp?), TX.
As we moved around with the USAF, I met several OT's from LLU, all from classes other than mine! What class were you in? I can't remember the names of the two women that were the Heads of the OT training, but they sure treated the two of us who were married very harshly compared to the others. I never understood that. Especially since my husband was stationed elsewhere and I was living alone and going to school! It wasn't like he was at home to "distract" me! They were just plain wierd!
When we all get together at that FAF "reunion" that Colleen is planning, we'll have to compare notes on the OT training! |

Tisha,
I was in the 3rd OT graduating class in 1963.
I do not remember who took over the OT program there after Edwinna Marshall, who started the program.
I am glad you are in something that you like and do well at it.
When we do get together at the FAF "reunion" I do want to meet you, and every one else, and we can compare notes.
