 * Marcy (Wilson) Dudley**


 * 1979:** Married since 1963 to Jim Dudley. We have three children, two boys and a girl, ages 12, 9, and 4. Married Jim after graduation from Whitman College, moved to Sirbee Bay, Philippine Islands where we spent two years (Jim in Navy) traveling throughout most of the Orient. Moved to Monterey, California for a year in '65 then moved to Turkey, where we spent two years, had first child, and traveled in Europe for about 6-7 months. Back to Seattle in 1968, substituted for Seattle School District until second son was born in '69. Moved to Vashon Island in '70 (subbed and taught pre-school). Moved to Spokane in '71 where I taught pre-school a year and then sold real estate for three years while Jim went to law school. Moved back to Seattle in spring of '75. Jim is a lawyer in a firm downtown and I'm substituting and den mother, taking classes at Seattle Pacific, etc....

**1999:**  In 1963 I graduated from college with a B.A. in English and married Jim Dudley.  We lived in the Philippines, then Monterey, CA, then Turkey.  Travelled extensively in Asia & Europe, lived in Seattle, then Vashon Island, then Spokane, then Seattle, now Kitsap County.  We have two sons and a daughter.  The oldest son is a reporter for the //Seattle Times//; the other son is a lawyer; our daughter works on the //Lady Washington//, a tall ship sailing on the Pacific coast.  I teach fifth grade and have done so for 18 years.  In 1994-95 I taught in England on a Fulbright exchange.  <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, my most important and fulfilling work was raising three kids. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-spacerun: yes; msospacerun: yes;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-tab-count: 1; msotabcount: 1;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love to travel, read constantly, enjoy water stuff—boating, swimming, canoeing. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-tab-count: 1; msotabcount: 1;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">High school memories: <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-spacerun: yes; msospacerun: yes;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">painting “59” on the water tower; the week at Juniper Beach after graduation; messing around with Ellen Harris and Sandy Bidwell.


 * 2009:** I retired from teaching in 2003. After retirement I was able to spend much more time with my amazing granddaughter in Seattle and also a lot of time traveling with Jim, my husband. I volunteer for the Red Cross emergency services, as does Jim, and we do both local work (going to fires and helping people who have been burned out of their homes), and national disaster work i.e. hurricanes, floods, etc. We spent 2008 learning firsthand about the medical facilities in Seattle as I found I had a nasty form of cancer which took us fulltime into medical hell. Now I seem to be doing fine thanks to the skill of my surgeon and a lot of other folks. We have five grandkids now, 3 little boys in Alameda, CA and two granddaughters in Seattle. Our kids are really not kids anymore but wonderful interesting adults. Jim and I just celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary. I'm a lucky person and I'm looking forward to seeing many old friends at our reunion.
