Gee, this makes me feel old but I feel GREAT! Abe worked for Mckesson and is semi retired. He manages one of my MVD offices. I have my own business contracted by ADOT/MVD Third Party Program. My business is just like going to a MVD office to do transactions such as vehicle title transfers, registrations, tag renewals, permits and vehicle inspections. My three locations are Superior Motor Vehicle Services, Inc. on 51st Ave. & Indian School Rd., 23rd Ave. & Glendale, and in Goodyear. I am currently preparing to add traffic survival school and defensive driving school. I attended Durham Business College right after graduation.

r. In 1991, I worked as an executive administrative assistant to two state senators until 2003. I retired from the state to attend to my businesses. 1996 - I was a candidate for the AZ State Senate seat but didn't win. Also at the same time, was the Maricopa County Director for the Healthy Arizona Initiative which became law. 2001 - I was in parternship to Sookie's Sports Bar & Grill. with my brother Sookie (no longer doing that). 2001 - I started the MVD business and still doing that. 2003 - I got into partnership building stainless steel hot dog carts with my brother Sookie. 2004 - I opened up a restaurant but sold it in six months (was not my green bag). I'm also a seamstress, a insurance agent, and a food caterer. I'm basically an entreprenueur. I am separated from Abe. Life goes on!!! I plan on traveling and just enjoying my life. I have been a pretty busy person as you can see but I have enjoyed every minute of it. It has been very painful at times but the joys have been greater. I thank GOD for everything HE has put in my path and I know he still has rewarding things ahead for me. I love my children, their children, and their children's children. That is more rewarding in my life than anything else.
