Sally Plumer (Moore)
Sally
Plumer
– Cowgirl extraordinaire.
Lived on several ranches in
Texas
and
Wyoming
and now lives in a small town in
Idaho
near
Boise
.
Sally
and her husband,
Rodney
, have been in
Idaho
since 1964. Not bad for a
super-popular beauty at CHS who was an officer in Speakers Bureau and President
of Emanon and a Chi Omega at OSU graduating with a degree in Child Development.
Now a cowgirl??? Actually
most of the range-riding was done in the cookhouse.
There were three babies to tend.
Sally
says she has amazing memories of CHS. She
only attended our 40th reunion and hopefully will be able to attend
our 50th (do they have airplanes in
Idaho
?). She said she was fascinated by
the aging process – familiar personalities in somewhat different bodies (I am
not as fat as I look
Sally
!). But like all of us was
disappointed that many she hoped to see did not attend.
Her most fun times were in Speakers Bureau and her worst times getting through
the day with stringy hair after a first period swimming class (yes,
Sally
many were still commenting about your stringy CHS hair at the 45th
reunion). She feels awed by the
great variety of educational and enrichment opportunities we enjoyed at CHS.
Students today are really shortchanged by those standards she says.
Sally
ought to know … she taught in her own private preschool for 25 years.
She said this was more fun than work (running a preschool is not work???)
and left time to be a “Swim Team Mom.”
She said those two boys and a girl grew up to be really great adults and
have given her and
Rodney
three exceptional grandsons (aren’t all grandkids exceptional?).
Sally
is now retired.
Rodney
has been employed more recently as an Ag Investment advisor and manages farms
in the Northwest and hopes to retire in a year or so. They have had the time to
build and decorate two homes (one in the mountains … will you invite us to
McCall,
Sally
?) She now does tutoring, quilting
(learned while ranching), belongs to several clubs and is Clerk of Session at
her Presbyterian church (big job).
She went steady with
Ed
Wheeler
(that’s National Guard
General
Ed
Wheeler
) at CHS. However her first kiss was
with her husband at the wedding. Really???
Let’s ask
Ed
Wheeler
about this! She and
Ed
were steadies at CHS.
