Jane's Story
Ater we left high school in the fall I moved to Nassau, Bahamas with my Parents my step father was in Construction and we went there to build the Paradise Island Hotel and we stayed to do other jobs.I lived there from October 1967 to October 1975. I married a very nice Italian man who at that time worked in the Casino. We had our first child there in 1971.
We then moved to England we lived just outside of London and down the street from Hampton Court Palace the home of Henry the 8th and Ann Bolin. We had a shop across the street from the palace it was older than our Country. We went into business with my husban's relatives. We did Italian leathergoods starting with Attache Cases ending with all accessories. We got contacted by Burberrys to start a collection of Cases for them that led to working with them for 30 years. If anything in leather was sold world wide from Burberrys we made it at our manufacting plant in Italy anfd distributed it in England then New York.
That brought my family now with a daughter born in England(1978) to America in 1979. We live just outside of New York . We continued to work for Burberry until 2001. We n...Expand for more
o longer work for them we closed the operations down and went our seperate ways.
I have been working in retail since 1986 first for Marshalls, then William Sonoma, now the Gap.
I found I like moving around instead of sitting all day. Partime is great after working full time for years with no life. I now enjoy running around with my daugter 33 and my son 40. Who both are living with me or I should say I live with them.
My favorite past time is wandering around farmers markets and traveling to New York States Winery's. They have really good wines. My fussy Italian husband even likes them. He is semi retired and works part time at he Giants Stadium. We have been married 40 years. I went to 10 year reunion and the 30th. I still may get to the 45 if not hope it was fun.
Sorry I didn't make it to the reunion maybe next time. I have been busy at work its back to school and Christmas is just around the corner. My nephew's son is touring with Jos Stone so were looking forward to seeing him in Concert. My other nephew is coming back from Germany he is a Colonel in the Airforce. My life is calm right now and at my age calm is really cool.
