Holly's Story
I've been very lucky and have had a whirlwind type of life. It is not anything like what I expected my life to be.
After high school and a few years kicking around town, I left to work for DisneyWorld in Orlando, Florida. I was fortunate to work not only with DisneyWorld but also on EPCOT Center and World Showcase. I attended Rollins College and in 1979 I married Bob Coontz. In the early 80's we were reassigned to the Disney Company international division and were sent to Japan to work on the opening of Tokyo Disneyland. It was an exciting time.
After the Tokyo Disney project, we were reassigned back to Southern California. Bob continued with Disney and I went to work for a developer. Bob and I went our separate ways in the mid-90's. We never had children, so we just each took our toys and went our own ways.

rty management. I managed high rise buildings in Pasadena, California and residential multiuse developments in Santa Monica, Brentwood and Los Angeles. In between projects I traveled in the U.S. and to Mexico, Canada, Hawaii and the Carribbean.
Just when the job situation slowed down and everything was getting to be "old hat", I met Harold Dunnigan. We fell in love over a 5 year courtship. Harold is a retired Navy SEAL and Los Angeles County Ocean Lifeguard. He proposed last St. Patrick's Day at our annual dinner party and we married 6 weeks later. I am now living at the beach in Santa Monica, California. Life is good!
Harold and I have been back to Rhode Island a couple of times over the past year to see my parents and sisters. We have eaten our way through Woonsocket and North Smithfield. The food is the best. I love it when I'm there but I'm always happy to come back to my nest.
