[Diane Amberg]

Hi to all, I was asked to tell about myself, so here goes. Yes, I am Lyle Amberg's oldest daughter... been married to Alan Silverman for 37 years. We recently retired. Al from the New Castle County Delaware Land Use Planning Dept. And I from teaching for 41 years....elementary school and fire service subjects...fire exting. use, fire safety and EMT classes etc. We rode the Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder Co. ambulance (Newark Delaware) for a very long time. I'm not very good on the computer and I'm a poor typist, so bear with me. Daddy was from Howard and Mom was from Horton. They went to KU. I would have been from Kansas too but WWII got in the way. Daddy came to Del. to work for Hercules and they stayed. I remember visiting in the 50's when Howard was bigger and busier. My grandparents and Uncle Teddy are there at the cemetery and also Bill Denton, extended family. We have been back from time to time over the years. I remember Toots very well....and the staff from Twilight Manor that were all so good to my grandmother. Any questions? Diane

Welcome Diane, I've enjoyed getting to know your family through my communications with Carol. This forum is truly an amazing place. Glad you are here.

I am Amber Alexander of Tacoma, WA. My grandparents were Delbert and Loretta Riggs, my Great Grandmother was Mae Riggs. Anettia is my mom, Theresa is my aunt.

I have been married for 7-1/2 years. I have a 7 year old son, Andy and a 4 year old daughter, Natalie. I work for a sheet metal manufacturer as an Assistant Customer Service Manager, and have been with them for 5 years. My husband is in the Airforce and is actually in Germany right now. Luckily, he is usually only gone for 10 days at a time, then he comes home for a week or two and then leaves again. We've been doing this rotation for the last 4 years. (maybe even longer) This fall he will be looking for a civilian job. It's going to be a challenge for him to do 9 to 5 every day. It'll be a big change.

I look forward to getting to know everyone!!!

I need to meet Debbie Lane.

We don't meet many true journalists in Elk County.

Don't worry, Debbie.  I'm not an axe murderer.  Besides, my wife keeps a careful eye on me. Why --- I do not know.  A 61-year-old editor is harmless.

[Teresa]

Debbie Lane...
That would be our own Mom70x7..

[Mom70x7]

Yep - that's me.

I definitely would NOT call me a true journalist. 

I'm on the Communications Advisory Council at West Elk, for the journalism courses, et al., so the next time we have a meeting, we can meet. 

What else do you need?   What have I done?     

[size=08pt](BTW - editors are NOT ever harmless.           They can make or break a story, a newspaper, a book - and even a web site / forum. Kjell and Teresa do a GREAT job of editing [monitoring] this forum.)

It's Roll Call time for all members.


What we would like for you to do is to write and tell everyone else all about you and your family and your pets or whatever you want your forum friends to know. But I think that we can safely say that we are more than forum friends.
We are kind of like family...........
Since most of us know each other or know someone who is kin to you... that makes us more than forum friends.

So don't be shy... Post away and let's all get reacquainted!

((I'll send out a newsletter when I get home Sunday evening and we will see how many out there we can get to come in and say "Hi".)).
