I can't wait to see former classmates and the staff that made a difference in my life. |

Love it!

Most of our family is still in the area.

Not as much as I would like to. Thankfully I still have family living in Norwich so I do make it back once in a while.

|
I have been at home with my children and foster children for the past 14 years.
After graduating from college I worked as a purchasing agent for a local factory.
I am now getting ready to head back out into the working world and I can't wait.
I also raise German Shepherds.
|
| How did you get into that line of work? |
|
I guess it is because I have always liked to spend money and this way I was spending someone else's.
|

Go to Monaco.

I really don't have much spare time.
In the summer we go to our seasonal trailer and sit back on the deck with a cold one.
I do alot of volunteering with the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association.
|
| How old do you feel? |
|
Depends on the kind of day I am having.
|
| Any grey hair yet? Women don't have to honestly answer this one:) |
|
I think that I own shares in Miss Clariol.
|
| What would we be surprised to know about you? |
|
That suprising enough, I don't weigh much more then I did in high school. I haven't grown any taller either.
|
| Did you have any nicknames in school? |
|
Some that weren't too flattering but the common one was Barny.
|

|
Not let people walk all over me.

Red Bull air racing.
|
| Favorite Food? |

Anything chocolate.

I must be getting older because now it is country but I do still enjoy the music that I grew up with. It is sad that now that music is considered the "oldies".
