Donna DuBois Starr:  

I'm finally retired after working 30+ years: 15 years at Kane Steel Co. in Millville as an executive secretary and 15 years for LeGore & Jones Appraisal Services in Vineland. I liked working for Kane Steel because there were about 35 people in the office and I spoke with people from England a couple times a week. They laughed at my accent and of course I laughed at their accent. The appraisal company was very hard because I was the only employee for the 2 appraisers and alone about 80% of the time. I didn't mind running the whole show, but it was very lonely. Now that I'm retired, I've joined a Red Hat group that mostly all graduated in 1954. It's fun being the "baby". We go to lunch once a month and rotate having "game day" once a month. I also bowl every Wednesday morning. For over a year now I've been in a pinochle club with girls you'll know: Pat Krupa Ingersoll, Carolyn Seeley Turner, and Janice Granger Sutton. We have a great time. Of course, lunch first, then playing cards. I'm also very involved with my church: St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Bridgeton. I'm a Sunday School teacher for the lower grades and secretary of the women's group. I'm also on the audit committee this year. Jim and I will be married 48 years on Feb. 8, 2012!!! Can't believe that. Couldn't have picked a more wonderful husband and father for our children. We have 2 girls and a son (who passed away in 2004). That was tough, but our daughers and grandchildren (4) have helped tremendously. We live in Upper Deerfield Twp. and we have a trailer in Fortescue (a familiar name for probably most of you). Fortescue is a wonderful place that you can take walks to the beach, look for shells, fish, and play pinochle!! As you will recall, the BUGS are a problem: first knats, then black flies, next GREEN HEA...Expand for more
