n New Years Eve.
Lived in Conn. for many years our second daughter was born there. I worked as a 911 dispatcher for many years then moved to Fl. when my husband retired at 55 years old. He was raised in Fl. so it was a natural thing for us to move there We have been very active with the American Red Cross for the past twenty years. We have responded to many disasters over the past twenty years Including the World Trade Center disaster which we worked for six week and a hurricane that almost destroyed our community we also worked Katrina that destroyed New Orleans. it is rewarding to help those in need an as long as I have my health I will (we will) continue to help those who need our help.
