Sharon's Story

Hi There, I have been putting this off because I haven't really stayed in touch much. I moved to Florida in 1972. My yearbook picture says I will move to Florida and I did just that! I married in 1970 and we had a son in 1977. For reasons that proves life sends you for a loop every now and then, we divorced. I remarried in 1981 and gained two step children who have my heart as my own. I have 5 grandsons ages 13 to 22 months (yup, no granddaughters but a good start on a basketball team). My careers took me from secretarial to adminstrative jobs in many interesting areas. I worked in DC at NCC, a subsidiary of NASDAQ dealing with over the counter trades until my move to Florida. I worked at Cordis Corporation, a pacemaker manufacturer, for 13 years after arriving in Florida. I was department adminstrator for 165 engineers one of which is my current husband. I controlled his budget then and still do! We moved to the Florida Keys in 1986. My husband became a Materials Science Professor at Florida International University where he is still employed. I took a job as Office Manager for Florida Sea Base, a Boy Scout High Adventure Base located on my island. It was a fun job and really clo...Expand for more
se to home. Boys from all over come to learn to sail, scuba dive, etc. I left in 1999 to care for my husbands aging parents. I love the Florida Keys.....almost perfect, never normal. I love to fish and boat and be with nature. I have been on several winning teams of women's sailfish tournaments....and bonefishing and tarpon too. I love gamefishing but, of course, don't do as much as I used too. I have a cabin hanging off a cliff in the appies in NW North Carolina. It reminds me alot of Maryland. I float down the river, collect berries, trout fish and enjoy my treehouse with the birds. I get high on the High Country and my family can visit me there alot easier than way down here on the Southernmost point! The weather is wonderful there in the summer compared to the tropical desert I live in. I am happy. My children are successful and happy. My husband is wonderful. I have a wonderful Bassett Hound and 3 cats I lug all over the country (all rescues). I love to travel and have been to 51 countries and all the US states including Alaska and Hawaii. I am headed to Slovenia in September for another adventure! I hope I can make a reunion one of these days and catch up with you guys!
