Pam and Ron Hill

Pam reports on their life:

Ron and I just entered a new phase of life.  In January, Ron retired from the Federal Highway Administration after 38 years.  I retired from teaching high school technology at Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona, in June, 2004. 

We moved to Corona de Tucson, a small place east of Tucson with great desert and mountain views.  Ron’s Dad, brother, and niece live in Tucson. One of our first tasks in retirement was to move my parents to Tucson from their home in Sierra Vista.  We would like to think that, after living in Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Georgia, Maryland, Nevada, West Virginia, Michigan and Phoenix, we are finally settled--that is, if you don’t count our many travels.

We have spent these first months of retirement making trips to Nashville and Wichita. We purchased a pop-up camper and have already put over 6,000 miles on it.  In June we will go to Toronto for the International Right of Way Conference. Ron has been active in the organization over the years and we love the chance to see new places and talk with old friends.  After a visit with brother Mike and his family in Batavia, Illinois, we will take a trip roughly along the Lewis and Clark Trail.  We have been researching the trip.  Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, Great Falls, and a side trip to South Dakota are on our agenda. In October we will take a trip to Hawaii, to celebrate 40 years of marriage.

Life is full. We work with St. Vincent de Paul, serving the poor.  I became involved in coaching a FIRST Robotics team in 2000 and spent four years building robots with my team.  We won the Southern California Regional in 2001 and went to Epcot Disney World in 2001 and 2002.  I am a member of the FIRST Robotics Arizona Regional Planning Committee and am trying to recruit new high school teams in the Tucson Area. This March I worked the competition as a pit administrator. We play a little BAD golf.  My big hobby is machine embroidery (please see the "Talents and Hobbies" page).  Ron is still in touch with the local International Right of Way Chapter.

Below is a picture of Ron and me with Diana's daughter, Gabby Williams, and a picture of my parents, Bill and Helen Mahood, with our son, Bruce.

Bruce is now living in Hanover, Maryland, very close to where he grew up.  He received his degree in Computer Science Engineering from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, joined the Air Force, and spent four years in the mountains--in Colorado Springs.  He now works for ITT on a contract with the State Deptartment and is currently looking for work before the contract runs out.  He is single and still looking. In the meantime he shares his townhouse with Sonata and Figaro, his cats.

Our daughter Laura spent nine years as an army helicopter pilot.  Her first deployment was the DMZ in Korea.  She learned to speak some Korean and was one of only eight women stationed there with two thousand men.  She has since served full time in the National Guard here in Arizona. When she married Capt. Pat Wade, a full time helicopter pilot with the Tennessee National Guard, she moved to Nashville with her daughter Eden, 9.  The Captains Wade were blessed with a daughter Liberty Grace on Oct. 4, 2004, my birthday.  Laura is currently serving in a National Guard Finance Group and is being deployed to Afghanistan for 14 months. Dad Pat is currently holding down the home fort with Eden and Libby.  At left is a recent picture of Laura and Libby.  Please see the "Support Our Troops" page.

 

Dianna Williams, our youngest, is stationed in Wichita, Kansas, with her husband Jake. They are both in the Air Force as contractors. Jake is currently deployed in Baghdad.  Dianna will be getting out of the Air Force at the end of May and will be taking a job with Raytheon in Tucson.  She served in Qatar, during the Iraq War, and Kyrgykstan, where she learned Russian, and is looking forward to staying state-side. She will live with us until Jake and their children Gabby, eight, and John, seven, can join her.

Dianna, Gabby and Jake are pictured below, and John is showing his missing teeth in the picture at right.
