Queen Mum ![]() Queen Mum Stamps-2-Much Hi, my name is Rachel. I was born in Pomona, San Bernardino County (LA area) but was raised in the Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties (about 60 miles north of LA). I married my present husband, David (the light of my life!) on Valentine's Day, 1993 at Loveland, CO. We moved to Northwest Arkansas in July 1993 about one week after my retirement from civil service. I worked for the government for 32 years and because the activity (Point Mugu, CA) where I worked was downsizing and also because of my age and length of service, I was able to take advantage of early retirement. I really thought I was not ready to retire (my husband had been retired about three years and was aching to leave sunny, crowded, expensive Southern California), but was I surprised. I love it! We found a home on Beaver Lake and enjoy sailing, golfing and other outside activities. Now how did we end up in Arkansas? My husband was born and raised in the Fort Smith area and graduated from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. When he left in 1959, he didn’t think he would ever be back unless to visit family. In 1992, my best friend retired and found a beautiful place in Missouri. We came back for a visit and started looking around at the lakes in Missouri and Arkansas (only because my husband is a sailor and we needed to live near a lake!). We spent three weeks looking and talking about having to come back at another time when the last weekend of our trip we found the perfect home! And the rest is history. After living on Beaver Lake for ten years, we decided to move closer to some of the other activities we both enjoy doing (golfing, hiking, biking). And now of course, Red Hatting for me! We now live in Bella Vista. I have two beautiful grown daughters (Deena & Stephanie). Deena lives in Southern California with her husband and family. Stephanie lives in Bentonville with her husband and family. I have five wonderful grandchildren, three in CA, and two in Bentonville. ![]() Sydney, Tanner, Troy
