Y'ld Cat Newspaper Co-Editor, Wildcat Yearbook Stick-Up Editor, Extemporaneous Speaking State, Extemporaneous Speaking Region, Childrens Theater, French Club, Quill & Scroll, Chess Club President, Thespians, Camera Club, Seminary Play, Senior Sluff Day Committee. Married Robert Burrows. Her parents are James L. Jacobs, and Margaret Swensen Jacobs (BYH Faculty). ~ ~ ~ ~ My dream while at BY High was to learn German and travel to Europe. I got my start in an informal lunchtime German class taught by Betty Jo Page in George Lewis’s room. (We performed a German version of Cinderella and went Christmas caroling.) Enchanted with the language, I dived into German classes at BYU, took my first trip to Germany the summer of 1957, and majored in German. After graduating from BYU, I studied at the University of Munich for a year (where I ran into Elder Weston Whatcott [also BYH Class of 1956], serving in my local ward). Afterwards I started graduate work at BYU, where I taught German four years part-time and six years full-time. To satisfy my wanderlust, I took groups of students to Germany during the summers. Finally finished my M.A., taught German and English for two years at Bountiful High, and in August of 1973 started a one-year teaching job at a German comprehensive high school in Berlin. In April of 1974 I met Robert Burrows, an electrical engineer from Ogden, who was working in Munich, and we were married six months later in the Swiss Temple. Returned to the U.S. in the summer of 1975 with a husband and bonus six children (Marc, Anne, Jeff, Jennifer, Craig, Brett) -- a fantastic package deal. Retired from teaching for a season to concentrate on parenting and other domestic endeavors. Lived in Ogden for two years, where our first two children (Margaret and David) were born, then moved on to San Jose, California. We ended up forty miles south of San Jose in rural Hollister (the earthquake capital of the world) where our third child (Richard) arrived, and Brent Brockbank [BYH Class of 1955] became our bishop. We renovated a sixty-year-old four-classroom schoolhouse on six and one-half acres, which became the home of our nine children. We had a huge vegetable garden, fruit trees, beef calves, rabbits, goats, and one eccentric chicken. A great life, but not exactly the espionage and intrigue I had envisioned for myself as a teenager at BYH. While in Hollister, I taught part-time in nearby Gilroy (the garlic capital of the world): German at Rucker Elementary school (two years), and ESL at Gavilan Community College (fifteen years). Retired in 2003 and moved to Orem the end of May, 2005, after having lived in California for more than twenty-eight years, plus a couple of years in Poughkeepsie, New York and Shelburne, Vermont. Our kids are scattered in Seattle; Los Angeles; Chico, California; Waldorf, Maryland; Guatemala City; Bountiful; Orem; and Provo. I love being back in Utah, living closer to siblings, uncle, aunts, cousins, and most of all more than fifty percent of our 23 grandchildren, reconnecting with friends from my former lives (BYH and BYU), and delighting in the spectacular view of Mount Timpanogos from my kitchen window. Favorite interests are family, reading, foreign movies, playing the recorder, and breathing in and out. @2007 ~ ~ ~ ~ Alternate email: aburrows@fastmail.fm @2010
