I recall how relieved she looked when I informed her in January of my freshman year that I was changing my major from nursing to English. I was her worst nightmare in anatomy class.

]]> Comment on SJC-MSM Connections by Kathy O'Brien Carlton http://blog.sjcalumnae.org/2008/10/msm/comment-page-1/#comment-433 Kathy O'Brien Carlton Thu, 03 Nov 2011 18:38:25 +0000 http://blog.sjcalumnae.org/?p=17#comment-433 I met David Carlton (MSM '72) parents weekend my freshman year. We started dating shortly after. After Joes closed I tried another college and after 1 semester I left. In 1973 we married. Subsequently we had two girls. I eventually completed my degree while working with the help of David and the girls (they did housework while I studied). We now have 5 grandchildren between 5 and 14 years old who have us wrapped around their fingers. We just celebrated our 38th anniversary. I had to go to Maryland to find a perfect partner that lived 20 miles from my home in Massachusetts. I met David Carlton (MSM ‘72) parents weekend my freshman year. We started dating shortly after.

She brought all those animal bodies in for us. I remember sacrificing guinea pigs so we could see peristalsis. That background stood me in good stead when I had to overcome squeamishness as a lab assistant to the head of the Biology dept at Univ of Virginia as I worked to support us while husband Bob Beer studied for his MBA.

Today I pretty much live in dafs. And yes - I still have my blazer - intact. (Of course it doesn't fit.) When I told my children that I never owned a pair of jeans until I was 22 they are convinced I went to a finishing school. I didn't mind being "finished". They were a wonderful four years!
