Joyce's Story
Life
Widowed, I have 3 children; 2 sons and 1 daughter
I love to travel, camp, ocean, meditate, beach, boating & socializing. I truly love nature and the positive energy generated from the ocean.
I'm looking forward to increasing my circle of friends.
School
I had the biggest crush on my English teacher Mr. Wall. And, my... was he tall!!!! I remember one day in the corridor he held the swinging door open for me. WOW!!
And let's not forget about Miss Szydlowski (aka Syd) for Shorthand and Typing. Those of you who might have experienced her will know what I'm talking about. As I look through my yearbook and face her picture, I'm taken back to the horrors. My friend Linda and I made many...Expand for more
trips to the guidance office trying to get out of her 'honors' class. She even signed our books in 'shorthand'.. she was not going to make it easy for us even at graduation time!
Workplace
After graduation, I stayed working for the telephone company, which ended up a 22 year career with AT&T at various locations. From that career I got into medical coding/billing. Six years ago I opened a gift shoppe called Angels and Beyond in North Fairhaven which I closed 4 years ago.
Currently I manage rental property and my website, do volunteer work for hospice and young widow support groups, and enjoy my children and grandchildren. I've been involved with AFS foreign exchange students and foster care.
