Sheri attended High School in Boulder CO and she was a champion level roller skater. While pursuing her skating she began a courtship with her husband Jack Millard. After they were married, she supported his short career as a travelling salesman living in Topeka Kansas and Cheyenne Wyoming while caring for an infant child, Mark. They came back to Boulder where her husband went back to school and they had another baby, Linda.

Then back to Boulder in University housing, military Quonset Huts where laundry was dried by hanging it out in the wind. She and her family were in a house in Boulder when President Kennedy was assassinated and she brought her brood inside to honor the passing of the president and to watch on the news for what was happening next.

With the completion of her husband’s degree, they moved to Downey California where her fourth child was born, Julie. Her four kids never went hungry or suffered the weather while she was a stay-at-home mom managing a family of 6 on a beginning teacher’s salary. While in California she went to Community College and learned secretarial skills.

Moving back to Denver to support her husband’s entrepreneurial enterprises, she began to work outside of the home.
