Teresa Bush Dill
Teresa Bush was born September 26, 1952 at Alva, Oklahoma. The following
year my parents, Duane and Marian Bush, moved our family to a farm north of
Isabel. They still reside there.
I attended Isabel grade school and Isabel high school. In 1970 I was
one of eight seniors to form the last graduating class of Isabel High School.
Upon graduation, I attended Pratt Junior College for 1 1/2 years. Then on
December 19, 1971, Mike Dill and I were married at the Isabel United
Methodist Church.
Mike was serving in the U.S. Navy at that time. His first duty was
attending "A" school, in Waukegan, Illinois. He then received orders to the
USS Midway. So I stayed with my parents and worked at the Pratt County Hospital
during that time. When the ship returned to the states, we lived in Alameda,
California. The Midway changed its homeport to Yokosuka, Japan and so did we.
Making Japan our home for the next 21 months our first son, Michael, was born
there. Our next destination was Alameda again for a brief stay. Mike's last
sea duty moved us to Benecia, California still in the San Francisco Bay
Area. Sean, our middle son was born during that time. Our final home in
California was Port Hueneme and there Timothy, our youngest, was born.
In 1979, Mike's enlistment was up and we moved back to Kansas. We have
lived outside of Cullison since then. Our sons attended Skyline School. Mike
is attending PCC and I serve as the Avon representative for the Cullison
area.
