Lorraine's Story
Life
Hmmm, where do I start? It is a trip being on this site and seeing some friends from the past. It actually brought a tear of happiness to my eyes....ahhh the innocence of it all. I don't know if you remember me. I actually left school early and went off and got married to a guy in the service. I was married for 11 years and have a son (now 25 years old) from that marriage and I also have another son who is 13 (I plead temporary insanity !!!). I went back to school and got my diploma, got a degree in Secretarial Science (tells you how old I am...:-O) and went on to get my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration from William Paterson College in Wayne, New Jersey. From there I went to Paterson and then to Atlantic City where I worked as a Scheduluer for Resorts International and Harrah's Casino. I then moved to California and after working in the medical instrument and corporate real estate markets, settled into working in the investment banking industry working for an international firm where I have been 20 years, most recently as a Revenue Administrator. I also own my own public relations and ...Expand for more

I am active in politics as an activists and have also held an elected position as a city council member.
School
Staley Jr. High - my first crush....If you read this you know who you are. You gave me a watch for my birthday that hung around my neck. My mom took it away because she said I was too young to get gifts like that from a boy :-0
I used to love rainy days in the cafeteria in the mornings...everyone was there and I loved hanging on the back of the school bus bumper in the snow so that we could slide on the ice...until someone would tell the bus driver and he would pull over and make us stop! I remember my friends from Wright Park Manor(I think that was the name)...and I remember my good friends - the Goodman Family..and bowling Saturday mornings on base..and going to the park...and I remember bbq chips, orange soda and orange cream puffs for breakfast on the way to school....those were good times :-)
