I would like to introduce myself. I am Cathy Robb, some may remember be as Cathy Mustoe Mitchell. I was born & raised by my parents Bob & Bonnie Mustoe, just south of Longton. My younger siblings are Karen Mustoe Crosslin and Mark Mustoe. During my youth, I participated in local 4-H, sports, church, and attended school in Longton for all 12 years of my early education. After graduation from Longton High School, I moved to Topeka to attend Washburn University/Stormont Vail School of Nursing. While going to school, I played softball for local women's teams. During the summers, I worked at Mercy Hospital and pitched for the Longton Women's team. My most memorable summer was the playoffs when we lost to Elk City, and I was recruited to pitch for their team in the regional tournament. We lost that tournament to Coffeyville, and I was drafted to pitch for them in the State Women's Softball tournament. That was a great summer! I graduated from Stormont Vail with an RN and took my first permanent job with the Shawnee County Health Department. I decided to continue my education at Wichita State University and played softball for the women's varsity team for three seasons. I worked as a resident assistant at a dormitory and worked part-time at Wesley Hospital. I graduation Cum Laude with a Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing. I moved to San Diego County, California, when I married. It was there that my three children were raised. I also have three grandchildren. I received my Master of Science Degree in Nursing and my Pediatric Nurse Practitioner certification from California State University, Long Beach. Throughout my professional career, I have worked in public education and in the non-profit community health systems sector. My experience includes team building, leadership development, organizational redesign, and quality control and management in addition to my clinical pediatric practice. My husband, Harvey Mitchell, passed away. He was a great community leader in Escondido, California. Together, we were incredibly involved in local organizations, and there are many lessons I have taken away form those times with him. Youth programs have always been important to me, as I was a local 4-H leader and teen council leader for the San Diego County 4-H program. Leadership development is a high priority for me. As Mayor of the City of Longton, I intend to use the education, skills, and experience I have obtained to create a positive environment for a healthy and growing community. My hope is that you will join me in these endeavors. |
