Angelina D'Aries:  

Graduated BHS 1963. Married Jim D'aries from North Babylon, Aug, 1964. He was in the Navy, stationed in Japan for 1 yr. I flew there, married him, and we lived there for 2 more years. My daughter Darlene was born there in Dec, of 1965. Both of my children graduated from West Babylon High School. Darlene got her Masters in Teaching at Dowling College, married her childhood sweetheart and gave us 3 wonderful grandchildren: TJ, Melanie, and Katie. We returned to the U.S. in 1966, lived in Deer Park and North Babylon, then bought a house in West Babylon, and have lived here for 48 yrs. My son James was born in 1969. He graduated Pratt, married, divorced, and has given us 2 beautiful granddaughters, Kelsey & Madison. All of them still live on LI, so I'm fortunate. I adore them and love being Nana. I'm retired for awhile now, worked a few different jobs but spent 15 yrs. working in a local nursing home as a dieticians assistant. Jim went to work for Grumman after the Navy & worked there for 29 yrs., retired, then worked as a consultant for Northrop for 3 yrs., then worked for Babylon post office-(he's always running into someone from NB, DP or Babylon)! He's retired now since 2013. We were married 56 yrs in Aug! We took the family on a cruise to the Bahamas for our 50th anniversary. We like to travel whenever we can & have visited every continent but Antarctica. I think that trip to Japan when I was young gave me this wanderlust and desire to see other countries, meet people from other cultures, be where history is being made or see history that has already been made! Keeps me young at heart! The summer of 2008 we went to China for the Olympics, saw Beijing, stayed in a Chinese hutong, which was different, to say the least, but we learned more about the culture n people than we would have if we had stayed in a fancy American hotel.
