Frannie Buckler:  

Divorced mother of 3 kids. I am living in Calvert County and commuting to Hyattsville every day to work. I work for Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Department of Parks and Recreation, Arts & Cultural Heritage Division as an Principal Administrative Assistant and have been there for over 23 years. After graduation I played softball for Back Road Inn for several years. It was something I really enjoyed. I used to watch the men's league on Friday's as well. That is something I miss living in Calvert. Other than my son playing baseball, I don't know anyone who plays ball to go watch a few games. My first job was at Breton Bay Country Club, where I got paid next to nothing to waitress. What I remember most about it is the great people I met while working there and also Cassie Reed's father giving me $20 one day just for waiting on them for several hours.. I worked as a bankteller at Pax River and in Leonardtown in the 80's and also worked as a bartender for a while to supplement my income when Robert Oswald and I separated in 1988. Bartending was a job I really liked and would do it again if I had the chance. I like talking and getting to know people. I miss Dukes Bar and Town Inn. What a difference of two worlds. But I always could mingle between the different crowds. But learned early that you can't always invite them all to one location - like my parents house the time I invited, Seventh District, Hollywood and Valley Lee people to a party. I have an Associates degree in Management Development. Imagine me back in school! You couldn't keep me in high school. You know what they say - I wish I knew then what I know now. I would have done things a lot differently I plan to retire and move to West Virginia where I have 6 acres of land ...Expand for more
