That's wonderful news!!! Congratulations on your son's accomplishments. I would be proud too, if I were you. As a veteran journalist, I know the television industry can be very "trying" and cut-throat in a lot of ways but it sounds as if your son has stood the test of time!
You must be very proud. Of course we all know that behind every successful business man is a wonderful, nurturing mother. This is quite impressive, Susan. I'm happy for your son and for you.
I was born in the Redwood Country of Northern California. An honor student in high school, I turned down a full tuition scholarship to Humboldt State University to marry at age seventeen and go on to have three children in the next five years.
I’ve never forgotten that starry-eyed girl who dreamed of becoming a newspaper journalist. I settled for an AA in Sociology and a minor in Business from College of the Redwoods and eventually found a career in telecom. Starting as a telephone operator and working my way up to a management position in purchasing with a large independent telephone company, I assumed I would work there until I retired or was found slumped over dead in my office chair.
Life, however, often takes you on paths you never dreamed you’d travel. My husband had a stroke in 2005 and we found ourselves becoming a multi-generational family, moving 160 miles away and in with our younger son, his wife and two grandchildren.
