Carol Jean Hammer:  

s and thought we had some fantastic actors within the school. Wish I had been there longer to have been able to "fit in". U of Md: One year, met 3 great friends I keep up with today who are dear to me. Wouldn't have missed it for the world. Math major bites the dust! What the heck was Vector Analysis anyway? Workplace When Nixon was President (one reason I wanted to leave the country back then), in 1971, I spent a year in England on my own and worked for a small business called the American Book Service which imported U.S. publications for European destinations. In retrospect, we ordered many of the publications from the USGPO and NTIS; many were sent to the University of Mozul in Iraq. Who knew? The women with whom I worked continue to be great friends. I Married in 1974 and was fortunate to stay home for 6 years while I raised my two great kids who are now 24 and 27. I worked part-time for airlines (PI, US and UA) until my oldest was 17 and youngest 13. We traveled to some wonderful destinations in those years and my kids were spoiled with first class travel at their fingertips. Full-time jobs were just that, jobs, not something I was thrilled with. I am finally not working for someone else, but planning a business on my own. My husband is closing his office in Herndon, VA and moving to the river with me to work on a less hectic basis. We look forward to enjoying life at a more leisurly pace and yet continue to do work that we enjoy. I will continue my digital photography. I have won several awards locally in the past few years with my photos, and there are so many beautiful things here to take photos of. We are truly blessed to be here and have such wonderful neighbors and friends.
