Billie's Story

I married bob Stelzner in July of 1963. We had our first son in July of 1964. Then we were blessed again to have another son in November 1967. We lived on Nelson Avenue for 8 years, then purchased a home out in western Fairfax County. We lived there for 27 years. Our sons moved to Raleigh, NC and during our visits back and forth to see them, that,s how we found this beautiful Lake Gaston that sits right on the VA/NC line. It is a recreational as well as bass tournament lake. We have 9 grandkids. They love the lake and will soon be able to ride the jet skiis on their own. Bob and I both worked in telecommunications areas. He was with ATT&T for 37 years. I worked in the publications field for the Navy, then went to Contel Communications, then they merged with GTE. During that time I was an Executive Secretary for the President of the Technology Center. I had a great time at these positions cause I got to do some things most could only think about. Bob retired from ATT&T in 1995 and shortly after I retired and that is when we bought (1996) at the lake. Such is life. It,s beautiful here year round. It wasn,t very long that I wen...Expand for more
t to work for The Lake Gaston Gazette. It was alot of fun. Bob, being a photographer, we went to quite a few functions around the lake to cover stories, mostly social events, some news stories. We did this together for about 2 years and decided that we really wanted to "play" (retire). Bob is involved with the Brunswick County Water Safety Committee. They take care of water safety issues on the Virginia side of the lake and has been involved in several rescues over the years. Thr fire department and sheriff,s office have called on him and his specially made boat. It,s a good thing to do. I am pursuing getting a degree in gemology through the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, CA. It is an on line course, and I hope to use this to identify gemstones and do appraisals on gems and jewlery. It,s quite an interesting field. The songs list I just created isn,t half of some ofmy favorites. I still have my entire 45 collection of over 500 45,s. I am looking for someone who would like to buy them from me cause someday I want be here to keep them up. Ha! I have extensive Elvis, Connie Francis, and others.
