Kathy Bunn-Schultz

My name is Kathy (Bunn) Schultz.

I was born on a cold Thanksgiving morning with a touch of snow on the ground.  Atlanta usually had its icy rain storms but on this November 24th, it chose to give nature a different venue for its Winter garmet.   Perhaps that was an omen, a forerunner of things to come.   My mother and father were of the older age group and needless to say I was a very big surprise to them.  However, during the childhood years, they were able to cope with all the ideas and fantasies that all children bring to their parents. 

I grew up in Atlanta and attended Crew Street Elementary School and then graduated from Hoke Smith High School in the year 1956. I enjoyed school but was not able to participate in athletics or other activites because I had the very bad luck of coming down with Rheumatic Fever and a little heart murmur. Gosh, even today I remember how much I wanted to be a majorette.  So my life became songs, stories and books, and just like every other young girl of those times, I rode the range with Sunset Carson, Lash Larue, Hoppy, Gene and Roy.  I was supergirl and wonder woman.  Upon leaving my childhood behind, I joined the real world as a Nurse.  I graduated from St. Joseph School of Nursing in Towson, Maryland and I still serve  as a nurse today in the field of Occupational Medicine.  However, I still dream and I still ride the range with all my cowboy heros and my country western singing stars. My Materinal GGMother and family are from Chambers County,Alabama, and have lived there since 1830's. She went to a writing school and writing was also her heart's dream and my dream is to make her proud of me; to carry on something that she never finished.

Like all people, I have had my share of heartaches and pain.  I have learned to fake it till you make it and to try laughing instead of crying.  It keeps one going.  Life is beautiful and I sure hope I get to live it again.

God Bless you.
