Sylvia's Story
After TJ, I went to college in Oregon, at Willamette University. I totally loved it there! Rain? Sure...more like a heavy mist, but nowhere near as bothersome as the torrential downpours that we have in Virginia! My whole family was from Washington State anyway so it suited me to be back on the west coast where I could visit with my favorite relatives, etc.
Upon graduation from college, it was back to Virginia where I went to grad school at James Madison University and got a master's degree in school psychology. Spent my first three years in Iowa working as a school psychologist and then came back to Fairfax County and worked as a school psychologist for about twenty years. Then, I moved into the office that handles special education appeals, compliance with Virginia regulations, etc. and stayed there until retirement.
I...Expand for more
met and married my wonderful husband in Fairfax County, also a school psychologist, and we raised our daughter who was a joy. Now, she is finishing up her master's degree in counseling psychology, more or less following in the footsteps of her parents.
Now in retirement, I keep up with lots of hobbies and friends. I am heavily into genealogy and spend many happy hours on the computer working on that. I also love to scan and then edit old family photos that date from the dawn of photography. Very satisfying and lots of fun to connect with living descendants of great grand-relatives of different kinds. I am a Mayflower descendant, and am a member of the DAR. I also make and sell jewelry, go swimming at the rec center, travel, buy and sell on eBay & Craigslist. I can't remember what else but I'm never bored. Life is good.
