Mary Ellen's Story
Since high school I have had a very interesting life. Unfortunately I am divorced but we have a very nice friendship. I have one son, S
ean is now thirteen years old and playing the rock and roll of our youth. Many people my age have grandchildren but when you have a child later in life it keeps you young (although) mom can't do the right thing by dancing in front of him which I do at home just to give him a hard time. I think being a mom has proven to be a wonderful experience. I give him space because it does seem like yesterday when I was his age and know I liked my freedom.
I attended Nassau Community College at night and then after getting married continued and received a BA in Marketing and Communications from CUNY at Queens College. It opened up my eyes to all the writing, and art in the world. Had the oppportunity to travel, to Europe a few times (Paris, London,all over Italy, Ireland and Austria.)

cations; all boy/kid stuff. I love the outdoors and since high school I have taken up jogging and jazz classes.
Unfortunately on a serious note I contracted a very bad case of colon cancer and had to undergo chemotherapy, radiation, and two surgeries. I am in remission for three years which is a very good sign. It was a difficult experience but I feel as if I am a better person for it. I may not jog like I used to; but I can walk for miles. I also have moved out of Mineola, first to Forest Hills, then to Malverne then to Orlando, Fl which I remain today. I have been here since 1990 and have seen many changes. The area I live in is very much a mixture of many cultures which I revel in but it is still not NYC. When I see a movie that depicts an area in NYC I still get homesick; the good news is I can go back as a "tourist" and know where I am going.
Hope to all that read this that life has treated you well; and can anyone answer this question WHERE DID THE YEARS GO???
