Kay (Lumberry) Jacobson

E-Mail: kpjacobson@netzero.net or KJacobson@RussellMellon.com

Personal Information: I have lived in Washington State, since 1982. How did I get here? Well my husband at the time was stationed at McChord AFB, here he was Rob White from Abington I currently live in beautiful Scenic downtown Milton. Milton is a city maybe a little bigger than Knoxville. I Graduated RMC with a degree in Accounting. I have worked for Frank Russell Co. forever, we did stock, bond investments, Pension Funds, Consulting etc. They decided to create a new company with Mellon Bank out of our division so I now work for Russell/Mellon Analytical Services. I am now an IT Business Analyst. which I gotta say is much better than Accounting on a full time basis. I now get to help build and design the software that the Production groups use. And I don't have Production deadlines to follow... I have 2 kids Tara Ashley White (1984) she drives now it's a little scary, and she is your typical teenage Girl and I mean Girl all the way, besides being blonde, she has a job as a Hostess at . My son Brett Matthew Osaka (1984) he is an avid Motorcross rider and has been everywhere on his Motorcycle, he has been riding since he was 2. and was #1 in the Nation a couple years ago. (We owned a Motorcycle Shop). I recently remarried after 13 years of being divorced. My husband Preston is a Plumber and has 3 kids Stacie 25, (she works with me now), Shannon 21, She made us Grandparents in September 2000. and Dallas his son is 9. I can't say I miss those Illinois winters, we don't have those here. It's fluke when it decides to snow down here. Mt Rainer is about an hour drive from our house as is the Pacific Ocean. So our temps are always real mild. People say it rains allot. (an as a Washingtonian now, we want them to think that) We don't get the extreme heat or humidity in the Summer either. I do however miss the down home feel of growing up in the Knoxville area, I came from DeLong. and we all know that is a small spot in the world but one of the best to grow up in, and I wouldn't trade that for anything. If anyone ever makes it out here look me up, I would be happy to show you around.
