GAIL ORLANDO's Story

I have been married to the most wonderful man and best friend, I have ever met. We will be together 29 years this month. I have a daughter (43) and a son (41) from a previous marriage and 2 step-sons (41) (39) (we became a family in '81) Now we have 6 g-kids......God has Blessed us. Ron and I have worked with each other for as long as we have known each other. He was my LPO in the USN for 5 years. When he retired in '89 we all moved to Ohio. Ron and I then worked in the private security field. We found we enjoyed this almost as much as the military. For the past 17 yrs. we worked in a high rise office building in Columbus. I then became office Mgr/ supervisor. Then. there was a 'hostile management takeover' and we were advised we were being 'replaced, effective immediately'. Well, at our age we thought the world had crumbled with us in it....but I am the 'get R done' person, so we played the job search game..When you have had a pristine work background, and impeccable work ethics such as we have, you have higher expectations than the job market. Then we found out, because we are both vets, there were schools available to us. The situation was you had to ask for the school you want, they would not ...Expand for more
tell us what schools are available. So being tired of playing the security scene and career search, Ron said OTR driver. It was a $5,000 school for each of us to acquire a CDL, and they would pay us mileage to/from school, so we did!!! We were OTR husband/wife team for 7 years and we loved it. We wanted to do this for the next 10 years...we made 7,,,came off the road to take care of Ron's mom, who had a major stroke, took care of her in our home...hospice...she stayed with us for 10 months..MDs said she had about a week to live,,we said good bye to her in Apr of last year. We were hoping for her to share her 95th b'day she didn't make her 95th b'day which would have been in May....she was like a big sister, not a mother+in-law...and the best 'mom' I ever had (I had 7..6 foster from birth to 5 yrs old) then adopted by the Orlando's out of St Michael's Orphanage at 11...We are retired now and living and doing what we want..loving life!!! as much as we can...with 4 kids and 6 g-kids.. I have connected with some HVCHS classmates. Rita S, Cathy V, Shirrill L, Karen B, Joe D, Loretta U, Carol V, etc....FB is waaaay better than My Space...SOOOOO c'mon join in for some fun. ...see you at our 50th reunion next year!!!!
