Cellany has a degree in Recreation Leadership,
(Thanks to Marylee Shumaker) and a BA in 
Business Management.  After 20 years in Business in 
various Business and Management positions Cellany
decided to change career fields.  She became a 
Correctional Officer (CO) for the State of Alaska 
Dept. of Corrections.  (Guard is to protect 
something of value.)  Her job is to see that the 
criminals follow the rules and play well together 
while incarcerated. Probably the biggest attraction 
was the week on week off.  She works 7 days 12 hour 
shifts and then gets a week off. So in reality she 
only works 2 weeks a month.

Her first two years she spent at the men's maximum
security prison in Seward, Alaska.  She says "It 
was good but the commute got old."  She is currently 
at a medium/minimum prison in Sutton, Alaska, which 
is about 25 miles from her home verses 300.
 
Believe it or not Cellany still plays golf. She said, 
"We do have some great courses up here, and of course 
living in Alaska you have to fish."    
 
Cellany's home is in the Mat Valley, which is about 
50 miles north of Anchorage.  When she first moved 
out there it was classified as rural but in the last 
few years it has been the fastest growing part of 
the state and it's pretty much a bedroom community 
to Anchorage.  
 
Cellany said, "Even though it has been 26 years since 
I left Amarillo,I still think of the gang and the Club 
often.  I suspect that Mr. & Mrs. Dykeman and Coach 
Splawn never dreamed of how many lives they would effect."

Hi Glenn:  Well how is the donation drive going.  
Just 2 months ago I sent them a check for a 
mere $100.00 which I know is nothing.  I don't 
have a problem giving a larger donation as 
long as I know that they have a fighting chance.     

What has caused this finanical situation?  

Let me know. Thanks, Cellany Hauser
