					I worked for Current Inc. in Colorado Springs after High School for 4 years. In 1972 I married Steve Crist in 1972. He was in the military stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. We moved to Germany in 1974. Our 3 boys were born in Stuttguart, Germany. We returned to the States in 1977 and started farming for Steve’s uncle in Hereford, Texas. In 1985 we moved down the highway to Boys Ranch, Texas which is 35 miles Northeast of Amarillo, Texas, and began a 19 yr. career of raising disadvantaged boys. I work as an Administrative Assistant to Facilities and Grounds. Our 3 boys were raised at the Ranch along with 350 other boys from around the country. Andy, our oldest, works for the State of Texas as in Environmental Inspector in Amarillo. Brandon, (a twin) work for Memorial Transplant Hospital in San Antonio, Texas as a Post I.C.U. Nurse. Joel (the other twin) works for Affiliated Food in Amarillo as a Production Assistant. We have been blessed with three wonderful Daughter-in-Laws and 4 Grandchildren. Mariella Johnson Crist
