Lori worked on a huge cattle ranch(10,000) head of cattle. I raised the babies in my own barn.My barn held 256 babies and in winter time it was full. My first baby calf died and I cried like a baby. I handled vaccines for the whole dairy. I had a huge walk-in refrigerator in my barn which held the medicine and I had to keep track of what came and went for medicine. It also held soda and juices for the feed truck drivers on the dairy. Wonderful people I worked with and for. Lived in Arizona for 9 years. The base we were on closed so we got orders to GrandForks, North Dakota for 8 years.In that time her husband had been to Iraq, Turkey and Saudi when the war broke out. He also traveled the world while we were stationed there. Lori worked at a golf course and then became a head cook at the military child care center for 5 years.
