Name: Joan Kirk
Hobbies: Sewing, Doll Collecting, Stamp Collecting, Working with Computers

I was born in Inglewood, California a long, long time ago. I have lived in California since birth. At the age of 18, I met Chester and we were married 6 weeks later and have been married ever since. We have three daughters and three granddaughters. I finally got a chance to go back to school and got my AA degree in June 2005. I enjoy school and am still taking classes. Maybe someday, I will get my BA degree. I am currently working and have been working steadily since the age of 14. I enjoy work and would probably be bored if I retired, if it weren't for my many hobbies...and my family.
