Dlorah's Story

I can't imagine any of this will be very interesting, but I will try to give a very condensed version. After graduation I went to a private business school in Chicago. I then got a job with the Department of Defense at OHare Field. Good job and received lots of training from IBM. I left the job in 1966 to get married. We moved to Madison, Wisconsin where my husband was attending law school. I went to work for the Wisconsin Highway Department in their computer department. In June of 1968 my husband graduated with his Juris Doctorate and I like to say I got my PHT degree. (Put him through) I was expecting our first child so that was the end of my first working career. We moved to Des Plaines as my husband had taken a job with Motorola's legal department. He hated corporate work. In April of 1970 we moved to Woodstock, IL where he had taken a job with a well known local law firm. I had our second son in December of 1970. For the next 13 years I did all the "small town wife of a professional" was expected to do. President of Welcome Wagon, member of Mental Health board, hospital auxiliary board, tons of volunteer hours at the hospital and the boys schools and at church. I h...Expand for more
onestly enjoyed all of it. I went back to work in 1983 as an office manager for a large landscaping company. I was divorced in Feburary of 1984. In December of 1985 I married the most wonderful man in the world. He has given me an incrediable life and is largely responsible for raising my sons to be the fine men they are today. We have traveled a great deal. Fished for Tarpon all over the world. Salmon in remote parts of Alaska and BC. Who knew that a girl from the city could turn out to love fishing. Had a home in the British Virgin Islands for 18 years where we spent our winters. I took up scuba diving for him and he tried skiing for me. We sold our business in January of 2005. In February of 2005 I had a heart attack caused by a virus. One third of my heart muscle is gone, but I function quit well. Just no high energy activities and my doctor doesn't recommend any foreign travel. We were in the islands when this happened and I had to be brought back by medical jet. We moved to our home on Siesta Key, Florida in 2009 after we sold our home in Woodstock. We love it here and the climate is certainly a lot better than Northern Illinois! No more snow and ice to deal with.
