Gail's Story
After graduation I spent one semester at Brandywine College in Delaware but dropped out to marry and moved to Coranado, California. That marriage lasted three years and produced two children, Carrie and Craig. So there I was twenty one, divorced and two children. I had to do something fast to support us. I went to Taylor Business in Plainfield which gave me the skills to become a secretary at Rutgers University in September, 1974. I worked hard at Rutgers, attended Middlesex County College, served on the Board of Directors of United Way of Central Jersey and raised two great kids.
My career at Rutgers lasted 28 years, moving up from Secretary at the Labor Education Center to Assistant Director of the Center for Management Development to Program Administrator for Nutritional Sciences. The early retirement buy out in 2002was too much for me to pass up so February 1, ...Expand for more
2003 I retired to Forked River.
The same day I got my job at Rutgers I starting dating Bill. After 35 years of engagement we married this past May. We did not want to rush into anything! He helped me raise my children and our grandchildren. Blake is the oldest, he will be 20 in December. Next came Megan, 14 and Araya, 13. Maryna was next and she is 8. The newest addition to my lineage is Mason who was born August 9th.
Retirement is everything I could hope for. We have a cute house on a lagoon where I am always tinkering in the yard or refinishing something. I am the neighborhood Nanny for before school and after care. I think I enjoy this the most.
Since my daughter lives in Tennessee and my son in Pennsylvania I frequently my the journey's to their homes to be with the grandchildren. Florida is another annual journey since Bill has lots of family there.
