Occupation: office manager/
mother/nanna Marital Status: Married No. of Children: 5 From Teresa: Married 35 years to Douglas C. Flegal,(Olympus '64). He is a Podiatrist here in Salt Lake. Pam Chivers lined us up when she was living in San Francisco while her husband was attending Podiatry School and I'll be forever in her debt. We have 5 incredible children, 3 girls, and 2 boys. They have produced 8 amazing grandchildren so far.(Can you tell I LOVE being a grandma). Unfortunately all my grandchildren live outside of Utah. We've always loved traveling, and with the benefits of my sons job at Delta Airlines, we've spread our wings even farther and see them whenever we can. When not visiting children and grandchildren you can find me seeing the world. I love sailing, scuba diving and my personal favorite, reading a good book (preferably on a lovely sandy beach). When home I love my garden and like to get down and dirty planting and harvesting. I've had some great opportunities in my life. Several highlights include taking two of my children on a humanitarian expedition to a small village in the mountains of Mexico and going with a friend to Ecuador to work in an orphanage. If my life were a book, it would have some "soap opera" drama, a touch of tragedy, lots of comedy, and then sprinkled generously with intense happiness. I enjoy the many opportunities that come my way and hope I can learn from each of them. Life hasn't been perfect but oh it's great and I love it!! I appreciate all who have added to my life by sharing theirs with me.
