I was born at Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco, California to the two most wonderful parents God ever created. My father, Carl Lovejoy was in the Army at the time and would later join a new branch of the military called the United States Air Force. My mother, Betty Jean Lovejoy was his help mate and best friend. She was the heart of the family. My parents met and married two weeks later. They were married for 44 years until Mama died. They were in love each and everyday of those 44 lyears. They were 16 when they married. My father was a firefighter, paramedic, and in crash & rescue and was known as the best scavenger in the Air Force. We moved 3-4 times a year. Daddy was the head of our house and he and mama made my brother Billy and I the best and loving home anywhere we were. By the time I was 16 I had been to all 50 states and 17 foreign countries.My father was my hero and the hero of my husband, my children and my grand children. He spent 30 years in the military. Then he worked for Lockheed for 20 years. He retired from Lockheed in 1994. Mama & Daddy are together in Heaven now.I met the love of my life, Buddy Welch, at Nellis AFB Nevada, while teaching dancing with the USO, on June 3, 1964. We were married on Nov 19, 1965. He was 21 and I was 17. We will celebrated our 42nd anniversary in NOVEMBER 2007. He was also in the Air Force. He spent 22 years in the Air Force and then we moved to Woodstock GA to be near my parents. Bud worked for GSA Civil Service for another 22 years and retired in Feb 2006. I am proud to say we are more in love each and everyday. I went to high school at Rancho High School in Las Vegas, Nevada. Then went to college at UNLV in Las Vegas, Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas and Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, California and Valdosta Georgia. Wherever my husband was stationed I worked as a nurse. I also worked as a nurse on the medical troop ships during Viet Nam. I also taught Nursing at Valdosta University.Bud and I were blessed with 5 children. Twins, Betty Jane and Carla Jean. They were born April 1, 1969 and died April 13, 1969. After their death we were blessed with 3 boys, Milus Wayne Welch II 37, Carl Lovejoy Welch 35, and Stephen Adam Welch 31. We are so proud of them all. They are all good men. We have 3 grandchildren, Carl Lovejoy Welch II 14, Bettie Jean Welch 12, and Stephen Lovejoy Welch 20 mo. They are the loves of our life.Today we are retired and love every minute of it. Our marriage is based on Christ is the Head of our household. I was taught from birth to love God, Family, and my Country. I am truly blessed.
