RTI Internaional/ interviewer for important studies such as the World Trade Center Health Registry, NPSAS, NSDUH, health and educational studies. I did not plan on college.. Bauder Fashion College sent a representative to recruit me.. I designed all my own clothing from an early age.. I made matching blouses for little girls and their dolls when I was 11 or 12 years old.. My mother made my clothing before that. One I learned to sew.. I started making dresses for her. I made my senior prom dress, my dress for graduation from college which was a requirement. I also made several other girls dresses and finished making them the night before graduation. I started working at Hansen Music Publications in Miami Beach.. We listened to music while we worked. I saw Creedence Clearwater Revival walk past my desk. I watch John Briimhall, Hal David, and Bill Oliver listen to records and write out music.. then I watch Randy Byrd etch it on an etching plate. I watched the printing presses print. I watched Barbara Streisand check the final product for her Pink Book cover. I was "Hair" and "Love Story" .. Driven by a sales representative from NJ in one of Mr. Hansens many Mercedes. I went to the December Pop Festival at the Gulfstream Park. December 28, 29, 30, 1968. Standing within feet of Iron Butterfly.. watching the drummer. Having two members of the Turtles ask if I had any matches. Mr Universe pageant .. DuPont Plaza Miami Florida. I was going for a walk Biscayne Bay Park next to the Planetarium.. When I met Mr. Uruguay and Mr. Paraguay and the invited me to the pageant. I was 19 years old. And I had a table at the pageant. The $1.00 Super Bowl tickets. Josheph Raymond Kerr III and I went to see Joe Namath. We walked up to the ticket window. January 12, 1969. The gave us two childrens tickets $1.00 each.. Two bucks to get into the Super Bowl. It was the greatest. And the Jets win.. That was super bowl 3. Graduated from Bauder Fashion College June 1969. Had intended to move back to Vero Beach.. Was supposed to move in with Charlie "Squeeky" Colvin but I showed up in Vero Beach and I stopped by the Gray Drug Store then next to Publix. And Squeeky's friend Doug told me that Joan Pryor was living with Squeeky. So I went back to Miami and moved in with Claudia Jablonski. She was working at Jordan Marsh as security.. and stole stuff from their all the time. She knew I would not steal anything but one time she brought me home a dress. Claudia moved out without notice and I never heard from her again. She was working with some guys that would break you fingers for stealing. We went to Bauder Fashion College together and she was from NJ. So since I had no roomate. Someone in HR at Hansen Publications told me about a girl that needed a roommate. Lori Litton.. Yes of the Littons.. Little Rich girl I later learned was not 18.. We first got an apartment in North Miami... but the landlord liiked to come into our apartment un-anounced. So we got a really nice apartment.. only 4 units in the building Marseille Drive, Miami Beach, Fl She was working at Great Train Robbery clothing store still in North Miami Beach.. I took a bus ...Expand for more
there to shop and say hi. Afterwards I was abducted from the bus stop and returned home the next day.. very bad experience.. I no longer take buses. But after that two things contributed to my moving. Gus Adadero was an artist at Hansen Publications. He opened a night club for youth on Collin's Blvd called the Light My Fire. And he did a painting of my face and hair on one of the walls because he really liked my green eyes. But I used to dance there.. So apparently Lori Litton's rich parents show up.. and want me to move out of the apartment.. because I am a bad influence on their unaway rebellious daughter. Who I was kind enough to take in. Go figure.. And my landlord agrees with them. So I moved into an apartment with Sue Disbrow again friend and fellow graduate from Bauder Fashion College. We lived in Opa Locka. Still dated guys that went to Miami Dade Junior College and were studying to be pilots. And there was an air field in Opa Locka. July 3,4,5 1970 I bought my tickets in advance.. I was still working at Hansen Publications. I could get no one to go with me. I got my plane ticket to Atlanta and then a shuttle flight to Macon. But I met others at the Atlanta Air Port from MA and they had friends picking them up and said heh! ride with us.. that is when you could cash back in your ticket with no penalty. I hung out with Christopher Fitch.. from the founding fathers.. from Plymouth MA. At the end of the festival he decided to visit Miami.. So we decided to hitch hike. Somewhere along the way we completed our trip via bus. I cashed in my ticket for my return trip. Chris visited for about a week then took a bus back to Plymouth. I had no sleep for four days. And my room mate wanted me to meet someone of great importance. Hubbard Steele Werblin.. son of David Abraham "Sonny" Werblin former owner of the Jets. I was so tired.. I told my room mate Sue Disbrow.. I don't care if he's the president of the USA .. I just want to sleep. I will meet him some other time.. And I did meet him another time and I went to his Dad's house which was such an honor as I loved the Jets. still do. Love the Cowboys too. Have an autographed 8X10 of Burnie Kosar.. as a Cowboy after Model let him go from the Browns. Lived in Kent, Ohio from November 1980-October 2003. Then moved to Raleigh, NC. But SuperBowl 5.. Cowboys vs Colts except this time unfortunately the Colts. won. Jimmy Stewart not the actor came by my house with 4 (50 yard line tickets) as Sue and I were letting some visiting students (two guys from Michigan sleep in our livingroom) the guys went to someones apartment to watch the game,, but as they left no note.. Jimmy and I went to the game. and they missed out on 50 yard line seats.. I think the Cowboys were over confident and were out air-boating in the Glades the day before the game and did not play their best game that day. :o( Shortly after this.. I helped a friend Lori.. move her three children to Ohio away from her abusive husband. Moved to Orville, Ohio Worked on Dino's Bar and Grill... hung out at the pool. Met a lot of great people including Bruce Smucker still great friends today. Helped a friend Connie move to Akron, then she moved back home.. I got a job at Polsky's Dept Store.. Met a lot of great people in Akron.. Still friends with many today. Polsky's was a great department store but now out of business. Then moved back to Vero Beach,, missed home.. Worked Southern Gas and Hardware. and as a seamstress. Hung out at the beach.. Nice to see old friends. Hung out at the beach. Moved back to Akron, Ohio. Worked at Krispy Creme on Maple street. Three guys that came in all the time had tickets to see Zappa... Frank that is.. the concert was snowed out.. So one of them could not go when it was rescheduled.. They had front row seats at the Cleveland Music Hall.. So they asked if I'd like to go.. And guess what the two guys from the Turtles were now with Zappa and I got to see them again.
