| Comment: I have 3 married stepchildren and 8 grandchildren. I have a ninth grandchild in my heart. He passed away Christmas day in 2003. My wonderful husband and I have been married 25 years. We have a 7 year old Shih Tzu named Cody who is our baby together! After graduation from the U of M, I lived in L.A. for 1 year and then moved home. I worked as a travel agent for 8 years and then worked in retail for many years until I got into advertising sales. After a few more years, I decided to work for my father's business and became a V.P. in marketing, customer service and human resources. After I was married for several years I decided it was time to have more time of my own and kinda retired. My husband has been in the insurance business for over 30 years and we now own a franchise of a commercial cleaning service. Overall, I love my life and enjoy traveling to Scottsdale for a few months during the winter. We both love golfing and enjoy the mountains and the desert courses. We are also very fortunate to have both of my 88 year old parents and my husband's 93 year old mother still a big part of our lives. Can't wait to catch up with everyone - see you in August! | |
