Patricia Cullers:  

Life My Spouse At a drop in for "Parents without Partners" My Pets: When my husband and i moved here to Virginia we had one cat named Axel who was our pride and joy. Shortly thereafter, a mommy cat had two kittens in our outside workroom and my husband decided he would like to keep them all so we had them neutered and we now have four adorable cats. I love animals so I was very happy with this arrangement. My husband, Bob and I are both involved in many community organizations and do volunteer work. Bob, my husband also plays Senior basketball and softball in an over-seventys team. My Job: I screened out and research medical data. I worked for IMS Inc. for 27 years, and worked part time in customer service for a uniform manufacturing company, plus I was a mystery shopper on the side. As of April 1st of 2002 I was retired. Hooray!!!!! In 2002 shortly after I "retired" I worked for "Home Instead" caring for elderly people in their homes and taking them to various appointments, etc., plus I was a tour guide for a year at Skyline Caverns. I quit that and in 2004 went to work for Heritage Hall as a receptionist. (a nursing home). I retired from that in April 2006 and now just fill in for the girl who took my place when she is out. I have various hobbies such as: stained glass, embroidery, knitting, reading, gardening and I am now taking piano lessons. My Kids: My oldest son Dan is Autistic, but lives on his own and works.

Alan is 39 and was married and lives in Baton Rouge, LA . He and his "significant other" run two Subway stores. Last but not least is my daughter Joy, 34,who is married to a policeman who is on the drug task force in Alexandria, VA., She works for Lockheed Martin and has travels a lot. Her husband is a policeman in Alexandria, VA., and Graduated from Wesleyan. She and her husband now have two children: Vincent, age 5 and Tyson, age 2. Much of my time now is spent baby-sitting. School Unfortunately our family was a very dysfunctional family and moved around a lot and I attended many different schools, therefore I didn't have a lot of close friends and wasn't allowed to do extracarricular activities. The time I did spend with my friends I enjoyed very much. There are four teachers who really stick out in my mind. First was my first grade teacher Mrs. Rinker in Monroeton, PA. She made me stay in a lot of recesses and work on my penmanship. Any of us who wanted to could visit her and her sister at their home anytime we wanted and I took full advantage of that. She was very partial to me but worked with me to better myself. Needless to say, my penmanship is still poor. Another was Fan Taylor at Killbuck.
