Sheila Potter Cole Update

I signed in on the Guestbook, but after looking at the bulletin board decided I’d fill in a few more gaps. The Web page looks great!  Anyway you can guess that I work for a computer company, Better On-line Solutions. We’re and R & D company that produced 5250 emulation software and hardware for midrange to PC connection. I’ve been there 1 1/2 yrs in customer service and sales, but recently dropped the customer service for accounting and sales of our PC only products. I am pursuing a degree at Paradise Valley Community College in business. I am going part time so it will be awhile before I graduate.

I’ve landed in the “Old West” and been here 18 years. Randy Kral and I moved here in ’80, we were divorced in ’84 and I remarried later that year. My husband is Hugh Cole, an almost Arizona native. We have 3 sons, Kelly (KJ) Kral, age 19. He was admiring the work on the Class of ’73 Home Page and the West High Home Page. He area of study in school is in Graphic Arts and Computer Animation. Nathan Cole, age 19 is my step-son who lives with us. Nathan is interested in joining the military and pursuing a career in electronics or airplane mechanics. Kassidy Kral, age 15 is “our baby”. Kass is a Sophomore at North Canyon High School (my son’s go to North, I went to West, and my husband went to a North, what’s with all these directions!) Anyway Kass is interested in the Fine Arts. He is an accomplished guitarist, in the Drama and Speech Clubs, and takes dance. He hopes to win an Oscar or Grammy one day.

Our family interests include: Hiking, camping, boating ( we have a 22 ft cuddy cabin), sports (Go Suns and Coyotes!), academic pursuits and computers! We are a busy group. Our house is like Grand Central Station with 3 teenagers and all their friends gathering here. I enjoyed reading the bulletin board. I haven’t been back to Iowa City for 8 years. West High has really grown since ’73, wish we had an 850 seat auditorium for the chorus concerts back then!

Let me know about the 25th reunion, I’d like to try to make it back for it. So now that I’m found, I’ll try to not get lost again, write me, anybody!

Adios,

Sheila
