The past 50 years have been good ones - full of mostly happy events. Bill and I have been married since 1972 and have enjoyed our life together and our respective careers. He is a recently retired partner in a Washington, D.C. law firm and specialized in large multinational corporate tax
Most of my adult life was working for IBM, first as an occupational health nurse and, after getting a master's in marketing and management, went back and forth between marketing and human resource management positions with them.
After IBM, I was a Human Resources Director at Georgetown University Hospital for 2 years. Received a degree in Organization Development while there, and then did marketing and management consulting.
Now, being fully retired, I do volunteer work with Mother Theresa's nuns and at the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Bill and I have had the good fortune to have shared raising my youngest brother's son, James, with my brother. James has been a total delight, and has just finished his first year at Hofstra. This was a particularly special experience for me since I never had children and James is the perfect child for me. Bill has 2 fine sons and there are 8 grandchildren.
It is wonderful to be this age and to look back with pleasure and appreciation for all the good things (and even those not so good!) and to look forward to the future with enthusiasm and hope.
