School Story:    Lori Terrusa and I spending happy hour at The Pub before rushing back to Sheehan in our cap and gowns to get in line for the graduation procession which started at 6:00PM. The Happy Hour warm up was the beginning of a celebration of freedom from Sheehan and a night of friendship at the block party for the entire class of 1979 in Ridgeland. Oh what a night and a party!!!



Comments:    After completing high school I worked on a cruise boat for a while traveling along the intercoastal waterway of the east coast being wild and crazy. It was not the career I thought it would be, but it was lots of fun. I did enjoy traveling and became a Travel Agent working for Fugazy Travel Agency of New Haven for several years until I was married and became a mother in 1984. I became a single parent in 1990 of my two daughters and began to put my life back together by going back to college. I became employed as a Registered Nurse at Gaylord Hospital in 1994 and continue to work there today-grateful to be able work with a great group of physicians and other health care providers on a daily basis. With my children on their own I have started my second childhood and am having a blast.
