I am married and have 2 children.
I grew up on a farm in Kansas. I rode horses, drove tractors, planted gardens, and harvested wheat. I liked
walking down the country roads. I enjoyed our vacations to the mountains of Colorado, and the rolling green hills
of Ireland. I love my family and friends dearly. I was born in Wichita Kansas at St. Francis Hospital . The
first 4 years of my life I lived at Woodchuck Lane and Irving in a house that my Father & Mother built just north-east
of Wichita Mid-Continent Airport. The house is no longer there. From age 4-6 we lived on a wheat farm 5 miles
north-east of Goddard Kansas where I went hunting with my Father, Dean Audrey Alley & my Grand-Father, Samuel
David Alley, watched my first Tornado form to the north-west of the house, chased birds, and played hard. From
age 6-9 we lived in Topeka where my father taught school for a time working for Bell Telephone Co. Then we moved
to Pratt Kansas where dad was Wire Chief. Then we moved back to Wichita, and then to a farm south-east of Mulvane
still age 9. We got out of Topeka right before the big tornado of 1964. I graduated from Mulvane Sr. High in
May of 1973.I went on to attend Wichita State University, University of Arkansas and Emporia State University.
I graduated from the K-Place program at Emporia State in 1999. Our family visited Ireland in June of 1999. We
had a wonderful time. I married Don Gaddie. We have two children, Katie & Donnie.
I love life and I have many dreams yet to fullfill.
