Gail's Story
Life
I'm back in Illinois after an 8-9 year stretch out of state. We spent one year in the St. Louis area and over seven years in New Jersey. My husband, Bob retired and we came back to the mid west June, 2002. We spent a year traveling and lived in a motor home before settling down here in Minooka, IL.
My daughter Virginia just moved back from the east coast September 2004 and we are happy to have her near. She is a musician and has recorded a couple CD's but hasn't done much in this area yet.
My son Jason is currently living in the Baltimore, Maryland area and works for Trane Corp. He recently bought his first house so we aren't expecting him to return to the midwest any time soon. Although, he says he will be back someday.
I hope everyone is doing well and wish you the best. I look forward to seeing old classmates and friends. I was disappointed and surprised we didn't have a 25 year reunion, although, I know it's a lot of work to put it together. Take care!
Workplace
Gosh!!! There's so much! My first was delivering newspapers, which progessed to babysitting, to working a...Expand for more
t the Westmont Roller Skating Rink (as you all know how much fun we had in those days), to fast food (Jack-in-the-Box), stuffing newspapers, and Zayre department store. These jobs were while still in high school. After that came assembly work in a factory, and than I decided to try out working in an office, in downtown Chicago where I decided Accounting was my thing. After getting married I only worked part-time and oops, back to retail. Believe it or not I sold shoes in a childrens Buster Brown shoe store, part-time after having my daughter, Virginia.
Eventually I went back to office work and attended school part-time. Since then I've gotten into Real Estate sales and appraising until moving out of Illinois. From here I worked for an after school program with under-priviledged children which was my most rewarding job until leaving New Jersey taking time off to travel and now I'm actually back in school and am taking Interior Design in downtown Chicago and love it. We'll see where that goes in the future. Hope this didn't bore you to much. Like you even care! Hope to see you soon!
