Carolyn's Story
I went to Rosemont College in Rosemont,PA after graduating from Benedictine Academy. It was a great school in a beautiful suburb of Philadelphia. There were lots of colleges nearby so I had alot of fun, too. Then I worked for two years as an admissions counselor at a junior college in Bryn Mawr, PA. I left that job to attend law school at Seton Hall School of Law. I was a law clerk for the Assignment Judge in Union County after I graduated. Then worked as a litigator for a defense firm for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, and later for my father at his law firm in Union. Finally, worked as a sole practitioner out of my home in Far Hills, NJ.
I married Gerard Norton in 1978, had a daughter, Kelly in 1985, and divorced in 1989. Kelly and I lived in Union, then Basking Ridge and Far Hills, NJ.
Far Hills was almost in the country and it was wonderful.
I moved to Vero Beach, FL twelve years ago with my daughter and my fiancee, Alan Singer. He started a cabinet design business. I worked as a paralegal at a law firm while studying for the FL Bar exam. Then I joined my fiancee at his business. I also started a new business, Age In Place Kitchens & Baths, LLC., as well as an Elder Law Practice, an...Expand for more
d became a Professional Guardian. It appears that services for the elderly are recession-proof so that's the direction I have taken.
My daughter graduated from American U's School of International Service. She moved back home for awhile, but eventually found a job as a paralegal at the legal department fat the U.of South Florida, in Tampa. I inherited her cat!
I love living here in beuatiful Vero Beach. I start every day with a long walk on the beach. It's like being at the Jersey shore all year!
A few years ago, I visited Barbara Lewis, Rose French, Mary O'Conner and Mary Fennelly. We spent a long weekend at Fennelly's beach house on the FL Panhandle. She lives in Tallahasse, FL. It had been a long time since I saw anyone from high school. We had so much fun, we did it again at Rose's second house in Bonita Springs, FL. Rose lives in Seaside Hgts, NJ - another beach walker!
When I lived in NJ, I saw my college friends when we gathered for dinner in NYC at least three times a year. Since moving to Florida, I see Nancy Ryan and Romy Spina when I go out to the Hamptons in August to visit my ex's second ex-wife. (Yes, I know, it's weird!) I wish I could get together with everybody more often.
