Gail's Story

Life Hi All Who Are Intersted!! I left my career of 25 years as a bldg. inspector and urban planner, and my family & friends in 1998 to move to the East to get married. I met my husband, Rich, on-line and we married in 1998. Yes, that is Peyton Manning and me :)) He is the nicest guy. We attended a Quarterback awards dinner and sat at Payton's table. His father, Archie Manning, and mother along with Roger Starbach were at the next table. It was a nice evening. Life is good and if anyone wants to know more feel free to email me at aol... Gdcsb2:)) Currently, we live at the beach on the Bay in Maryland. I retired after 34 years in government; ugh, can you believe that! I now hold a real estate license in both VA and MD. No one said I was known for my great timing! I have enjoyed my life thus far. I lived in SB until 1998. My sister, Nancy, and Mom reside not far from me in DE. My brother, Joe, is still in Highland with his wife. Diane, and one son, Tony. My Father, God rest his soul, passed away in 1999. We miss him very much. I am a colon cancer survivor of 8 years now. I consider myself very fortunate to still be here. I met many good people through that experience. In the 9+ short years since living on the East Coast I've also met many great friends. Some have become keepers; friends for life. Thanks to email and sites such as this one I am able to keep in-tough with old and new friends. In fact, after living here for 9+ years, I keep in touch with my family and friends on the West Coast and at times it doesn't feel as if I've left. Isn't technology grand. Education history: after high school I relocated temporarily to the East Coast. I m...Expand for more
oved back home in Nov. '70 and started school. I worked two part time jobs until I found a job at the County of SB. I worked my way up and became a bldg. inspector and after graduating from college in '86 (finally!). I became an Urban Planner. I went back to school and worked on my Master's and also obtained a Community College Teaching Credential. I taught part-time at Valley College for 8 yesrs while working full time at the County. Real estate and employment: I purchased a couple homes in CA and made a good profit when I sold them. When I relocated to the East Coast in '98 I started working for the government back here. After almost 35 years I retired from both government jobs. Pensions are wonderful! We relocated from VA to MD because of the L.A.ish traffic. My husband, Rich, works in MD. We live in a small beach/bay community and we love it. We just don't know what took us so long. I work for a small firm and I am enjoying the real estate business. Although, the market is slow, I am selling and leasing. I am enjoying the business. Well, I guess that's about all for now. Hope whoever is reading my bio ("story") is in good health and is living a great life. :0) Gail Update...Retired, divorced (2015) and happily living in NV. A new cancer in 2015 as my doctor missed a new cancerous polyp. Was given 12 mos in 2016. It's 2019 and I'm still.here. Yes, I'm still stubborn. As I told my Oncologist in 2000 when I was given a 35% survival rate, only God knows when my days are over. Here I am again. The cancer is back. Metastasized to my lungs. However, it has stopped growing. Maybe I do have 9 lives. I relocated to DE to be near my sister. Life goes on.
