Evelyn's Story

After High School, I attended Henderson State College and graduated with a teaching degree in 1974. At that time, I moved from Arkansas and lived in a variety of cities including Pittsburgh, LA, and Philadelphia. In the early eighties, I finally settled in New Jersey where I now live with the love of my life for 27 years. Though the degree from Henderson was in teaching, I have worked in business all these years. Searching for a job in Los Angeles started a new career in 1976 when I joined a staffing agency interviewing and placing others in better jobs. I found that helping other people with job searches was very rewarding. Now, I work for the world's largest staffing company and just celebrated 21 years with Adecco. As Joe and I prepare for our future retirement, we are traveling nationally and internationally. We have learned to appreciate that you must be in good physical condition to keep up with the rigorous pace of tour groups and to see the world. During some of our recent trips in the US, we have occasionally taken time to search for housing in the warmer climate states for our future retirement years.

It is nice to share where we have been with fiends, but turning the pages is like taking the trip over and over again. When time permits we will go back in time to create albums of our previous travels. The printed albums are incredible and like paging through a travel magazine or National Geographic. But the best part is they are your pictures and all of the places you have been. Last May, we attended a Yankee & Red Sox game at Fenway Park. The Yankees lost unfortunately, but we enjoyed going early for batting practice and sitting up on the Green Monster to watch batting practice prior to the game. While in Boston, we visited the JFK Museums at both the University of Massachusetts and Hyannis and attend a Boston Pops Concert. We consider ourselves fortunate to get together with Joe's two boys to attend a Yankee or Mets game in NYC and visit Atlantic City for concerts, see a Broadway show or go to the Pocono Mountains from our central location. We have been known to take the Acela train to DC for The Cherry Blossom Festival, etc. After working for so many years, we are trying to appreciate the diverse opportunities that life offers.
