Lynn's Story
After leaving Morris Hills Regional H.S., I went to nursing school at Mountainside Hospital in Montclair, NJ (where I was born!), graduating in 1963. I worked in ICU until June of 1964 when Joel and I were married. He had just finished med school and was in the Navy. We spent a year at Great Lakes, IL, for his internship, where our daughter Christine was born; then to Boston, MA, for residency, where our son Marc was born. We spent 2 years in Charleston, SC, then 2 more in Boston before settling in Rome, GA. My parents (now both deceased) and brother Jim also moved here. Joel practiced internal medicine for 18 years and I worked in his office. He then left his practice and taught in a residency program for 17 years - retired from that 3 years ago and now works part-time in the hospital's cardiology lab.
We live in the country and raised horses, cattle, dogs,rabbits,pigs, etc. for many years and still have a big veg...Expand for more
etable garden.
We became grandparents in 1990 and now have 4 teenage grandsons and a 10-year-old granddaughter. Christine moved back here from FL with her husband and 4 sons 9 years ago; Marc is an AF pilot stationed in Alaska withhis wife and daughter.
I taught natural childbirth for a couple of years, am president of our local community chorus and have done other volunteer jobs with our symphony orchestra and a local college. We are members of a small non-denominational church family.
Last year I started making pottery - now have my own studio in the back yard. We have 2 dogs - a Great Dane and an (?) Australian Shepherd mix - both adopted.
We have time shares with Marriott and travel a good bit. We have both been blessed with good health so far, exercise regularly and eat lots of home-grown veggies and fruit.
Looking forward to a MHRHS reunion next year! It's fun re-connecting with people after all these years.
