Carol's Story
I was born in New York. 1st school was Glenham Union School, then Franklin Elementary, then Mt.Carmel Catholic, then Poughkeepsie Middle School,then Havilandj jr high. ( don't remember the elementary school in Wappinger Falls I went to)
Areas I lived was Beacon, Wappinger Falls, Poughkeepsie.
Streets: don't remeber all of them, just some......Mt Carmel Sq, Poughkeepsie, Parker Ave. Poughkeepsie, Hinkley Pl. Poughkeepsie, Styvestandt St Poughkeepsie. As you can see my Mom rented houses cause she was divorced. My mom took great care of us.
My mom moved us to Florida when I was in Haviland. :( I so much did not want to move.)
My favorite memories is in Bradley Village, when I went to Haviland school. We were a gang back then :-) We hung out almost every night on Van Wyck Dr.
We would go ice skating, roller skating, school dances, go downtown Poughkeepsie on Saturdays....used the public bus to take us there, movies theatre in down town area, play in Bradley Village playground, I liked to go walk around inside and outside of Dutchess Community College.
My frineds and I hung out in each others houses all the time.
Bradley Village friends: Do you know Sucatos, Blauvelts, Cunninghams, Gilroys, Chiumentos, Monroes, Colesantis, others: Brad, Debbie, Bonnie, ect.
In 1970 when we moved to Florida we moved to Casselberry in Summit Apt. Then my mom bought a house on Kentia Rd. Casselberry.
At 17 I moved out and moved to Vero Beach, FL. I worked at a restaurant in Sanford, the manager got moved to their other restaurant in Vero Beach. I was invited to work in the Vero one. I'm so glad I went to Vero Beach which is Indian River Cou...Expand for more
nty, FL
Now, I still live in Indian River County, FL it's the east coast mid-state.
I was a food prep employee....food made from scratch, wow now-a-days almost all restaurants don't have food prep employees....all they do now is order food already made. That's why food at restaurants is not great now.
The owner of the restaurant in Sanford and Vero Beach Bahama Joes, asked me for my conch chowder recipe. I worked for them, but I changed their recipe...everybody loved my conch chowder.
I was in the restaurant business for a long time: was a bus girl, salad girl, waitress, bartender.
Also, I worked for a non-profit company. I was coordinated volunteers.
Also I taught recycling in all schools in Indian River County.
Reduce Reuse Recycle.....Also,I managed a reuse company.....called Reusable Resource Recovery Center....then I changed the name to "Reuse Exchange"
I am an environmentalist.
Eventually I'll explain things I've done.
Now, My daughter is 23 living in Jacksonville, FL. My son is becomming am electrician.
I have a career....Broker Associate Realtor.....I'm the greenest Realtor in the world :-) I do not want land developed. We need green undeveloped land...it makes an amenity to areas.Happt Buyers Happy Sellers are mu business.
In fact back in 1991 me and 8 other people got the county to let people vote to purchase conservation land. We won! We have so many conservation lands here now. It had to do with me.
I so much want to go back to Poughkeepsie area on vacation, I miss it so much.
I want to drive there, not fly....cause I'll drive all over the Poughkeepsie area, ect.
I hope gas prices go back down.
