Floyanne Radzinski was born right here in Tulsa. She graduated from Central in 1958, after which came 4 years at Oklahoma Universidy in Norman giving her a bachelor degree in science. Then off to Califofnia for summer job in Disney Land and to her teaching job number 1 of many. She taught kindergarden in Garden Grove and and lived with other teachers in a beach house on the ocean.

At the same time she spend each summer at a different school, still learning: There were the University of Guadalahara, U.C.L.A., the University of Hawaii, and a couple of more somewhere.

In 1965 she moved on to Santa Barbara, CA to the Hope School District. She and Bill Radzinski met at a church function there in 1966 - First Church of Christ,Scientist in Santa Barbara. They married 2 years later in the Nancy Voskyle Chappel at Westmont College. They were the only couple other than those attending the college ever allowed to be married in their chapel!

In 1969 they bought property in Tulsa and built a house to their own specifications, moving in in 1970; and they're still in the same house!

In 1985 Floyanne attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater and obtained her masters in Family Relations and Child Development. All these past years in Tulsa, including this coming school year she has substituted in all 3 districts, Tulsa, Union and Jenks. Only in kindegarten, and never more than one to three days per week.

She and husband Bill have one child: Misty Lee, born in 1973. She graduated from Memorial High in Tulsa and then on to Southern Missouri State University receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theatre and dance. After an assortment of jobs, she married a Lakota Indian, Derald Rowland. Mr. and Mrs. R. now live on the reservation, at Pine Ridge in South Dakota.

Floyanne is a major asset to the Tulsa Computer Society, and she has helped me so much cleaning out my house that I expect to see her begin to glow like Roma Downey in Touched By An Angel. We have been having door prize drawings at most of our TCS meetings, and they are a result of Floyanne helping me to uncover things I picked up at Comdex or other shows, and which I really don't need, but which I hope some of our members might like to have.
