I always wanted to be a journalist when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. Update 8/8/17 - retired on October 31, 2014. The following day I discovered I had cancer. For a year I was caught up in dealing with and learning all about breast cancer. I am now 2 years a survivor but still taking drugs to ward off the evil disease from returning. My three children have successful careers and between them have given me 8 beautiful grandchildren.
