Howdy Classmates,

In 1977 I married a guy (Jim Bradley) from the “wrong” side of town (City High) and we’ve been married for 46 years. During our first 10 years of marriage we lived in Houston, Minneapolis, the Davenport area and landed back in Iowa City in 1986.

We have two grown kids, Jessica (42) and Adam (38). Adam and his wife live in Reno, NV and both work in healthcare. Jessica’s family lives in MInneapolis with our three grandkids (Evie, Willa and Howie) where she works for General Mills in their marketing division.

I retired from The University of Iowa in 2019 after a total of about 20 years, the majority of the time spent in the Office of the Provost. I took a break from University employment from 1997-2007 and started a career in real estate with Coldwell Banker in Iowa City which I really enjoyed. Since I wanted to work towards a secure retirement, I returned to the University in 2007.

Since JIm’s retirement in 2020 after 35 years at the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy, we’ve been spending our winters in the south (Arizona and Texas). It is nice to get away from the cold but we don’t have any plans of moving south permanently. We have to stay close to the grandkids.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone this summer!
