Kristan's Story
Life
I've lived in Nashua, NH since January, 1984. I was married in 1982, divorced in 1992, have a beautiful daughter named Kira, work in IT, am a computer geek, generally speaking, still sing on occasion, and attend pro hockey games when I can afford them (Boston Bruins, Providence Bruins). I take a lot of pictures, some of hockey, some of nature... I simply enjoy using my photography obsession however it best suits at any given moment. :)
My daughter and her husband made me a grandmother in January, 2011. They made me a grandmother for the second time in March 2013. And a third time in October 2018. I have to admit that I LOVE being a grandmother. My grand-daughters, Briella and Valerie, and grandson, Wes, are so darned adorable, it's hard to put into words. :) They're very full of energy, love to laugh and play, and are a joy to be around.
College
I attended 3 semesters at Lyndon State College, with the intent on becoming a disc jockette. I worked at the radio station at LSC for the latter two semesters I went to school, but in the spring of 1982, I left school and got married later that summer.
I attended some continuing ed/night classes at Franklin Pierce College, but extenuating circumstances forced me to halt going for my degree after about 18 months... so basically everything I know how to do in the jobs I've had has pretty much been self-taught/learned.
Workplace
I worked at DEC (Digital Equi...Expand for more

I an avid fan of the Boston Bruins. I walked around with a smile on my face for at least a week when they won the Stanley Cup in 2011. I only watch a smattering of TV shows, enjoy photography (mostly my family, my cats, and nature).
