Florence Lynn's Story
Life:
After 31 years with GlaxoSmithKline (formerly Smith Kline) Pharmaceuticals, a reduction in force finally made the decision for me to retire. My job allowed me to travel to 42 of the United States as well as Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. I have also traveled for pleasure to several Carribean Islands. I love water activities.
I have an array of pets including dogs, birds, fish, chickens, ducks and a rabbit. Most are rescued animals.
Both of my children are Frankford High graduates. I have three wonderful grandchildren. I am an avid sports fan and attend numerous game performances with the Phillies, Eagles, 76ers, Flyers, Wings, Lakewood Blue Claws and my most passionate allegiance is to the Philadelphia Soul...Expand for more
. My 11 year old granddaughter dances for many of these teams during halftime performances. She is a member of three dance teams as well as a Girl Scout and soccer player. I try to attend as many of her activities as time and travel allow me to.
My recent bout with breast cancer (January 2009) made me realize how beautiful life can be and how fragile.
Life has been very exciting and rewarding for me.
School:
High School Teacher who inspired me most: Dr. Dickie
Funniest Incidents: Mr. Morrison's English Class - tuning up his hearing aid (not nice, but definitely funny) and my Chemistry partner(M.F.)burning the ceiling with the bunsen burner.
Happiest: Winning the Bands of Tomorrow Contests and kicking butt in Football.
