 * Carol (Shrauger) Farnsworth**

**1969: **After graduation I worked for a year as a nurse’s aid before my marriage in 1960.  My husband, Jerry, is a warehouse foreman for Libby, McNeil, and Libby in Mount Vernon.  We have three children: Donnie, age 8, Donna, age 6 ½, and Darlene, age 5.  We are expecting our fourth child in February.  We bought a lot at Avon Acres and plan to start building our new home next spring.  Our favorite passtime is taking the trailer and going camping, especially to the ocean.


 * 1979:** In January 1970 my husband accepted a position with Andrew Cold Storage in Kennewick, Washington as an Inventory Control Manager. He worked for them for three years. Now he is employed by Garrett Freightline. We have four children: Don, 17; Donna, 16; Darlene, 14; and Denice, 9 (who was born a month after we moved to Kennewick). For the last four years I have worked for the Kennewick Flower Shop as a floral assistant and designer; a lot of my job centers around the wedding work. It is a beautiful, big shop with a complete line of giftware as well as flowers. Last summer we built a new home in Kennewick. It has a beautiful view of the area.

 I worked for 16 years in the nursing field and later as a florist, owning my own shop for 9 years.  I’m still doing weddings etc. out of the home.
