Subject: WPHS Alums Class of 1961 - Information
Hi Bill,
I'm JoAnn Engle Crawford
and I do remember you, now that I've seen your face! This
web page is a terrific idea as I sometimes think back
to those "good ole days!"
After graduation, I went
to work for Martin-Marietta where my father had worked
for 30 some years. I met and married Donald Lee Crawford
from Winter Garden in March of 1964. He worked at the
Cape so we moved to Cocoa. We have three children, Janet
Marie born in 1964, Julie Ann in 1967 and Donald, Jr.
in 1970. We moved back to Ocoee in 1972 when work at the
Cape was terminating and Don found a job with Walt Disney
World.
Don and I have been living
in Germany for the past 2 1/2 years doing mission work
for the Southern Baptist Conventions, International Mission
Board. Most people feel called to missions when they are
young, but Don and I were in our 50's, late 50's at that.
Our son Donald and his wife and two kids have been in
the mission ministry for 8 years and it was thru them
that we decided to come join them. We love the work we're
doing here and love the German people. We live in the
south-west corner of Germany, down near the French and
Swiss borders. We travel to all three countries frequently.
Thank goodness for the Euro, I had to carry three differenct
currencies until the Euro came last year!
We have 8 grandchildren,
2 girls and the last 6 in a row were boys! One grandson
was born in Cyprus and another here in Germany. How life
changes so quickly. I had a scare this past Sept. when
we can for a visit to Ocoee/Winter Garden and while doing
a routine check up found out that the left main artery
was 67% blocked and I could "leave this earth"
at any time, according to the doctor. They wouldn't even
let me go home after the heart cath! Two days later I
had open heart surgery with two by-passes. Luckily, I'm
a quick healer. Had the surgery on Mon and left the hospital
on Thurs. Unbelievable short stay! I was sore and weak,
but alive and kicking. Three weeks later we returned to
our home in Neuenburg and I've been recovering nicely.
You never know how close you can come to dying and not
even know it. I'm just thankful I've got an extended stay
for a while longer!
Well, I'm sure glad you
contacted me, Mr. Bill. I'll keep checking the website
to see who else has been found and get the new about the
45 reunion.
Blessings, JoAnn |
