A review of what I have written
on past North High questionnaires reveals that I may be repetitious
with this...married (at West Point) to Harry for 45 years. Drake University;
KRNT-TV; CBS Network; U.S. Dept. of State (Foreign Service); Legal secretary
to 21 lawyers; Executive Secretary to CEO of Electronics firm in California
(LTV); Office Mgr.,/Executive Secretary to CEO/Restaurant chain of 3,000
restaurants throughout the world; Carl Karcher (Carl's Jr.); at The
Boeing Company in Seattle for 33 years as Executive Secretary to seven
vice-presidents and one president and, for the last ten years there,
as specialist in computing; pursued MCSE (Microsoft certification) and
graduated magna cum laude (web design and graphics certification) which
has opened up fascinating opportunities. Have completed about twenty
websites this year. BETA testing at Microsoft. Am going back to work
again. My note to you in June, 1998, indicated I had just gotten a new
3.2GB computer, which I thought was great. How obsolete! I now sit at
my new equipment ...120GB/ and 1.4G RAM, etc. Last scan indicated I
had over 275,000 files on just this one computer. A computer built for
my file storage and backup just arrived...500GB (four hard drives)!
Have wired the house with our server, hub, six workstations, six printers,
two scanners, digital camera, DSL, analog, etc. and utilize these about
ten hours daily for various graphic and web site assignments. Am in
quilting group where I usually complete at least one quilt a month.
Won blue ribbon at Washington State Fair for a quilt two years ago which
resulted in presentation to 8,000 graphic designers at Seattle Center
on computer technology used in quilt. Update: Special exhibit of this
quilt at 2003 Fair viewed by 120,000 at quilt pavilion. Still host/house
five-member women's collegiate golf team annually. In our backyard,
Sahalee ("high, heavenly ground") hosted the PGA and had a
great time with Fanny Sunesson (Nick Faldo's caddie) and the NEC with
Steve Williams (Tiger Woods's caddie) staying with us for those respective
weeks. In both tournaments, Harry was walking scorer (he had the final
twosomes in both tournaments), and I worked in Media with 1000 reporters
and broadcasters. An LPGA player now calls our house her home base.
Sahalee tournament in July brings the Australian National Men's Team
to our house. (Harry and I score this tournament with relational databases.)
Update: one of our Australian house guests went on to win the U.S. Men's
Amateur Championship at Oakmont. Still have garden tours every summer.
For our annual Christmas miniature village tours held here daily from
Thanksgiving to New Years, we have around 500 come through the house.
Largest single crowd was 100 people in two chartered buses...they come
from everywhere, learning about it from local newspapers/TV and word
of mouth. We sometimes have three groups per day and, since the tours
are personalized, I spend about three computer hours preparing for each
group. Groups begin booking in July. We still collect and enjoy the
work of Rie Munoz, Juneau watercolorist. Have been spending more time
at mountain cabin since I got a shuttle computer and an ISP up there.
(Can't afford to be away from that online contact, since we get about
150 emails daily!) Harry has been teaching various computer classes
at SeniorNet, an international organization to train those over 50 who
wish to learn computing skills. His oldest student is 92! Visit Fitness
Center daily, and we are grateful for marvelous health/energy and the
excitement that life introduces around every corner. Desiring to be
succinct, I obviously exhibit a verbose writing habit (but 50 years
is a long time!). Abundant blessings to each of you of His ever-present
peace, hope, and joy. My memories of you are fond indeed.
Entry from my North High Hall of Fame website:
05/05/05: Claradell (Gergely)
Shedd, orphaned at six by a tornado which claimed the lives of both
of her parents, lived thereafter with relatives and friends, to include
a farm and mining community in southern Iowa, before making her home
with acquaintances of her late parents during her elementary, Warren
Harding, and North High days. A child of the Depression, Claradell learned
early and applied well the work ethic and discipline to serve her significantly
in the future. After North High graduation, came Drake and KRNT Radio-TV,
followed by the U. S. Foreign Service in Washington, D.C. Married in
1958 at West Point, Claradell and her husband, Harry, traveled and lived
worldwide, with Claradell being employed as a legal secretary, special
assistant to the CEO of Carl's Jr. restaurants (now Hardee's), executive
assistant to the CEO and president of Ling Electronics (eventually LTV/Ling-Temco-Vought;
electronics/aerospace firm in Texas/Southern California); and, with
her husband's transfer to Seattle, she served as assistant to seven
vice presidents and the president of The Boeing Aerospace Company, where
she received many awards and accolades. During this 33-year tenure at
Boeing, she received her B.A. in business, ensued by considerable post
graduate study. Following Boeing, in pursuit of academic credentials
emphasizing web and graphic design, she graduated magna cum laude, acknowledged
at commencement by the president of the college as "the overachiever
of the class." Claradell has worked full time for seven years (as
of 04/10) on the creation of several websites as a "gift to her
1953 class and to the spirit of North High," encompassing classes
from 1893 to present. Acknowledged as the finest high school archive
in the nation and awarded a university citation as a "model website,"
industry has placed a substantial dollar value on the continually expanding
site. http://ndmhs.com Over 5,000
monthly accesses are regularly recorded for the four North High sites.
Claradell's 36 websites generate over 250,000 accesses a month. Her
interests include snow skiing in the Cascades, golf at our "back
yard" Sahalee course, quilting...a quilt a month (100+ shown online,
http://www.hshedd.com/quilts/index.html),
conducting garden tours/roses (blue ribbons in competition), gift wrapping
(seminar/cruise presentations, http://www.hshedd.com/gift%20wrapping/index.html),
blue ribbons for her floral arrangement designs, conducting annual holiday
tours of miniature villages in their home (500 visitors per Christmas
season); and teaching needlepoint, sewing, tailoring, interior design,
and crafts. In the art field, Claradell is a nationally recognized authority
on water color. Computing skills include relational databases for golf
scoring at Junior America's Cup, men's amateur, and women's collegiate
tournaments, as well as working media in PGA, NEC, and U.S. Senior Open
events. Websites on her home page number approximately thirty-six. Computer
photographic restoration work (Emma Case Moulton) now hangs in the halls
of old North High. At one time active golfers themselves, Claradell
and her husband now regularly host collegiate, amateur, and professional
golfers playing in local tournaments, as well as assisting golfers in
getting started in the professional ranks. In the 1980's, they sponsored
six immigrants who lived with them during the orientation phase. Professionally,
Claradell is active in Phi Theta Kappa, international scholastic honor
society, and Phi Gamma Nu, co-ed business fraternity. She is currently
working on an autobiography of her life. Claradell and her husband volunteer
as WA State ombudsmen advocating for the rights and dignity of seniors,
being presently assigned to facilities housing over 500 seniors. Credo:
"Attitude more than age determines energy." Additional interests
can be viewed at hshedd.com .
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends
will leave footprints in your heart.
