Life
Hi Guys!
Classmates.com evidently doesn't know that way back when, Glen-Nor became Interboro.
After Interboro, I graduated from Kutztown University (State College then) and became an art teacher in Bricktown, New Jersey where I lived for seven years. In 1978, I married Ralph Aponte, a Dental Laboratory owner whom I met through mutual friends on a blind date for the annual Christmas party that he threw for his employees. When we married he told me we would be living in Florida within one year.
Since Ralph does as Ralph says, we arrived in Tampa with everything we owned, including the lab, in a truck, June 24,1979, one day before our first Anniversary. I decided not to teach and helped him run the lab for 24 years instead. We sold the lab in 2003. Ralph died in 2011.

2013, it was time for my annual termite inspection of my house. This wonderful man appeared at my front door to do the inspection and I decided he was going to be a big part of my life. We started dating 2 days later. A little bit into our relationship we decided to take a cruise for Christmas. A little bit after that we decided to surprise everyone (including ourselves) and get married December 21st, the day before the cruise. We planned a Christmas party for friends and neighbors and surprised them with not just a great Christmas party, but a wedding in the middle of it. I guess now it's just "Happily Ever After". My new husband's name is Basil Burwell and I am now Patty Burwell but I can't figure out how to change my name on this thing.
