Dawn's Story
Life
My life has taken many twists & turns over the years. I met my husband in Hartford, Conn. in 1969. I was working at the Aetna ins. Co. and I met him shortly after I had moved to Hartford. We married 90 days after we met and have been happily married for over 49 years! We are also business partners. We have owned a commercial glazing company, specializing in security glass for Federal & State prisons for the last 32 years. We have two wonderful children; a son and a daughter. They are both married now and I have 3 beautiful Grandchildren.
Steve & I moved with the children to southern California from Portland in early 1981, where we lived for 15 years in Mission Viejo,Ca. We bought a second home in Arizona in 1995 (where we currently live) and after a population explosion in So. Ca .we decided to leave & semi-retire in Arizona 22 years ago. We live on Lake Havasu, which is about 60 miles long & connects to the Colorado river. We just love it and enjoy boating, wave running, gambling in Vegas and Laughlin.The mountains surrounding us are breathtaking and the sunsets are not to be believed! We still travel with our business but we pick & chose our jobs now, leaving us with abundant leisure time. We still come back to Maine to visit family & friends. Eight years ago, we brought my Father home to be buried in the family plot on Chebeague Island. He had lived in Ca. near us for years, then moved back to Maine in 91 to be near his sister af...Expand for more
ter her husband died. We brought him to Arizona to live near us in 1998, after we discovered he had colon cancer. He lived in Arizona for 3 1/2 years before his death.He loved the Lake & mountains and being near his family again.
In 2004 our daughter had a beautiful little boy- our first Grandchild! His name is Jonathan Louis, after my Father. He was a little blonde bundle of energy! We just adore him! In Dec. of 2005 our son & his wife had twins! A beautiful little boy and a georgeous little girl! They named the little boy after Aaron's favorite Red Sox player- Emmanuel. We call him Manny. His sister is named Rae Jordan. We are very blessed with a wonderful family and good health.
Our twins are now 12 years old. We took the kids & grandkids home to Maine for a visit in 2007. I can't believe how much it has changed since my last trip in 2001! I am amazed at all the building & development going on. The trees & landmarks have all changed so much over the years they are almost unrecognizable anymore! Our family finally got to meet the twins & Jonathan. Our fourteen year old grandson is a marvel...so smart for his age! He is a straight A student and a member of the national honor society. They are true gifts from God & my husband & I just adore them!
We went to Maine in June 2014 for a visit to see family. I hadn't seen my cousins for about 30 years. We were close as kids & I was thrilled to connect with then again after so many years.
