Ann Schaffer:  

I lived at home until Jan 1965; when I married the guy I was dating my senior year. We lived in Hampton until 1977 and then we moved to Yorktown .......Jim Lamb was our next door neighbor. Nick worked in the shipyard and things were uncertain with the strikes and he applied for and was hired in Feb 1979, at Texasgulf in Aurora,NC. We have been here since; we have one daughter and one grandson. They live about 20 miles away, Robert comes down and stays with us in the summer and on long week-ends. He is so mature for an 11year old, sometimes he really makes me laugh. Nick and I both are retired; mine is disabilty, I have nerve damage in my left leg due to diabetes.....that is what happens to you when you don't take care of yourself. Some things you have to lear the hard way. We also have 3 "babies" two male and 1 female" Mattie we adoped from Lynn's sister-in-law, Marty was my sister's, until she got sick and could not care for him.....we have had him for 3 years, they are poddles and the last Gaylord, we adopted him from the animal shelter and he is "a Hines 57", but we love them all. We had a St Bernard, her name was Baby and SHE WAS!!!! One of our neighbors told her neighbor that we kept her in the house!!!...Expand for more
