Class of 1964

Ione Logan

What are you doing these days?
I just retired from Verizon (November) after 28 years.  I was an operations partner in the Operator Services Department.  It is really strange not to work after all these years.  Mark and I have been together for seven years. We are planning on getting married next year.  We enjoy doing a little traveling, but Mark still works, so it’s mostly short trips.  I also get to spend more time with my parents, children and grandkids now that I’m off work.

Tell us about your children.  
I have three children:  Ben is an artist and lives in Palm Springs; Dione is a respiratory therapist in San Diego.  She is married and has four children from 9 months to 18 years.  Lisha has just gone back to school and is living with us for a short time (she just lost her fiancée in Dec. to a sudden illness).  Mark also has a daughter that is 12 and lives in Alaska and spends the summer with us.

Highlights of the past 40 years.
As I said, I worked for Verizon for 28 years and really enjoyed my job.  I was an operator for many years, but spent the last 5 years in management.  I have lived in Cathedral City for the last 34 years.  I was born in the valley and have enjoyed staying here.  Actually, I’m kind of boring, but I like it that way.

Words of Wisdom to Impart?
Enjoy everyday of your life and find a great person to love; you never know what tomorrow will bring.
