Judith's Story
Hi
Grew up in Astoria on 35th St.I went to PS 5 & then went to Jr.High 126 & then I got to go to Bryant. I really liked Bryant & the many friends I made there.I loved singing in the Glee Club. I worked after school in a few stores on Steinway St. I worked At the Rainbow Shop & also I worked at the Lerners Shop. I met a great Supervisor at the Lerner Shop who happened to be a supervisor to me when I worked for the Motor Vehicle Bureau in Westbury, NY many years later.I met my husband Lenny Messitte when we were young kids at a social in Sunnyside. After High School I worked and went to College for awhile. Lenny was three years older than I & after a year we married. We settled down in Rego Park, Forest Hills. I worked full time & Lenny finished college. I became pregnant with our first child, Lenny finished college & started teaching. While Lenny was taking his masters degree courses I was taking civil service tests to work for Nassau County. Loved working for the County. I was close to home to be near the kids when they needed me. Had many positions working at the County, the first one was for the Motor Vehicle Bureau, then I went to the County Clerks office in Mineola that job was exciting then the last position I had was with the Passport Dept.
We raised three children in Merrick NY.Our ...Expand for more

After working for the County for 23 years I retired we moved from Merrick to Long Beach on the Ocean, We loved it, but we wanted more from life then what we had in Long Beach. SOOO We bought a lovely home in Delray Beach Florida in an Adult Community. We feel we are living at a Camp for Adults. We are now living here 6 years & loving it. Our youngest daughter moved down with her daughter & her husband & is living in Boca Raton about 6 milles away.
Down here in Florida I am a motivational speaker for a Weight Group to help Men, Women & children lose their excess weight.I love the job it helps me to be a good roll model & it also helps some people do the same. I keep very busy also as a photographer. I love traveling, especially cruising. I have been blessed with a great husband who is the funniest person I know, Three great kids & Three great grand-kids.Last year I went to my friends 50th, she was in the 1957 class. We had a great time. I am looking forward to going to my own Reunion in October.
