Other personal comments: Come
see me in Poulsbo, Washsington, where I live on the shores of PugetSound
with my Standard Poodle JAX. Charles and I had
a grand 51 years together, living in Riverside and Los Altos CA, Alexandria VA
and Helensburgh, Scotland. While there for 2 years, we traveled throughout
Europe. The past 8 years, we had a winter home in Green Valley AZ .
I have 3 younger sisters who are all Fortier grads: Kay Perrin, Cynthia Moroney
and Debbie Pittmon. When the last of us was graduating, someone wrote an
article about us in the Silver and Blue and dubbed us the "Munch Bunch".
That name stuck and now we laughingly refer to our family that way. We continue
a tradition begun by our parents, and spend a week together with our
families every July at Silver Dunes in Destin FL I fly to
New Orleans for Mardi Gras every year that I can and also host Mardi
Gras parties at home, so that my friends can learn about our unique city, its
cuisine and celebrations. I treasure my Fortier years, those
dedicated teachers and my longtime friends...and wasn't it fun
