What I'm Doing Now   Colleen Kennedy   Colleen Kennedy   Name in High School: Colleen Kennedy Name Now: Colleen Kennedy E-mail: ckennedy@krebs.com Status: My partner Burton Johnson and I have been together for 4 years now Kids: None Where I'm Living: Tucson, Arizona (about 1 hour drive to Mexico) How I spend My Days: I design pumps used in mines. Most of my time is spent making 3D models on the computer and working on new pump designs. Also chasing scorpians and spiders out of the house (just kidding). Hobbies and Interests: I really enjoy old-fashioned things like knitting, quilting, making jam and pickles. I continue to play table tennis and I was a volunteer at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. Burton and I visit his parents on the California coast in the winter. Last 20 Years in a Nutshell: I studied manufacturing engineering and graduated from Boston Univ. in 1988. After moving back to Minneapolis, I started work at a small machine shop. I did eng. design for Caterpillar at RFA/MN Eng. in Eden Praire for 5-1/2 years. I moved to Tucson in 1999 and had all the seasons switched on me! We stay inside during summer and go outside the other three seasons. I met Burton in 2000. He grew up in Tucson and doesn't understand winter as we know it. I love living here and am excited to see everyone again in October. High School Memories: Working on plays, art projects, physics (bus) homework, learning to write a research paper. German skits, the ill-fitting headphones in the language lab, Toblerone candy. Realizing I can't sing. It took 7th & 8th grade choir to find out. The changing seasons along the Mississippi river. Half of all clothes I owned wear Red & White.
