Laura's Story
Life
After leaving Bentley, I went to the school of the Museum of fine Arts in
Boston for one year. I was a rebellious young thing, and it was the only school that would have me.

After twenty five years of helping people buy homes, the company was divested by Citigroup in December of 2008, and went out of business.

Now since the economic downturn I seem to be retired, and that is winding up to be not such a bad thing.
