Mary's Story
Life
Update 2014 - Very bad start - Bil diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in Jan; chemo finally completed September and he is in remission! I retired June 30th from IT consulting. Off to New England to visit friends and photograph the leaves.
Update 2013 - Rocky start - knee replacement in Jan, back to work in April - what else will happen? Cruised to the Bahamas on Disney Wonder - Absolutely top drawer!
Update 2012 - Settled into condo in Abingdon, continued Medicare consulting and cruised to Bermuda with friends.
Update 2011 - Let's see - Closed Cruise Planners, rightsizing to a condo this year, consulting for Medicare and selling jewelry, and doing extra work in movies filmed locally - Game Change was fun!

ke a few along the way as well. Cruised to Bermuda in May 2007. Bil is now working at GBMC. Started consulting for Social SecurityAdmin.
Thirty-something years is a long time to summarize in a short bio - so look for the extended version on the NY Times Best Seller List soon. In between graduation and now, I got married, had a lovely daughter, got divorced, moved to Towson, then Edgewood, then Joppa, went to college(s) and planned to teach, but became an Information Systems Manager and Training Specialist, worked in Insurance, Banking, Credit Cards, Consulting and Manufacturing, got married (to classmate Bill Barron), took up photography, acted, directed, produced in community theater and independent films, wrote numerous plays and murder mysteries, traveled extensively (work and pleasure), and recently, met the King and Queen of Norway. Their majesties are quite pleasant. Future plans are to change careers - maybe teaching full time - and then retire to Hilton Head, SC. Of course, we have considered just moving from one cruise ship to another, but hurricane season gets a bit dicey, so we need at least one place to call home on land. I have one pet - a cat named Lucy, and no grandchildren, but I do have two handsome grandcats named Marshall and Dalton. Email me through Classmates.
