After graduation from Moscow High, I attended the University of Idaho graduating in 1969 with a degree in education. I began my teaching career in Colton, Washington followed by 16 years at Moscow Junior High. My first marriage to John Egland ended in 1982 but was blessed with four wonderful daughters. In 1988 I married the best guy in the entire world, Jim Borowicz, and moved to Elk City, Idaho where I taught and was principal of Elk City School.
In 2002 I took early retirement (and love it!!!) and had a wonderful opportunity open to me. I was asked to be project coordinator for the 2003 Capitol Holiday Tree, the first Christmas tree to grace the lawn of our nation’s capitol building to come from the State of Idaho. It was quite an honor and a wonderful experience. Idaho school children made over 8,000 ornaments and in November 2003, we took the tree to 54 Idaho communities and 9 communities across the nation. I was very proud to be from Idaho and get to accompany the tree on its trip and be there with my family as the Speaker of the House and two Idaho school children flipped the switch to light the tree. On our trip around Idaho, Tom and Sandy (Anderson) Coates met us in Challis and Michelle (Connelly) Arnold met us in Coeur d’Alene.
My passion in life remains my family. My daughters all live in the Pacific Northwest. Ginny is in Boise with two of our grandchildren and is senior director with The Body Shop at Home, Jill is a full time mom in Portland with two of our grandsons and a new baby on the way in February, Katie just received her Master’s degree in architecture from the University of Washington and opened her architecture business, Walker Architecture, on Bainbridge Island in June, and Molly just moved to Portland, Oregon, from New Haven, Connecticut where she was working at Yale University Press as an assistant editor. She is now attending the University of Portland working on her Master’s degree in Education.
Jim and I love living in remote Elk City, Idaho. Jim is the forester at Bennett Forest Industries and we built a home 5 miles north of this small community. Recently I have been working with groups here to promote forest health and last year testified in Washington, D.C. in front of the Senate Natural Resource committee about the forest conditions surrounding Elk City in support of a Senate bill. I enjoy quilting and Jim and I love canoeing. We also backpack into the wilderness areas east of here. We have had the opportunity to travel to Pakistan, Barbados, Scotland, Honduras, and Italy, and to Greece and the Bahamas on kayak trips with daughters. But our main interest continues to center around our children and our four wonderful grandchildren who all love to come and visit.
I appreciate all the time and energy Bill and Connie have put into making our website and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion!
