Ilona's Story
Life
In October of 2007 I will celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary. I met my husband at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. We have 2 children, Scott 18 and Gail 16. Scott is a freshman at Penn State and Gail is a sophmore in high school.

College

My career as a Physical Therapist Assistant was short-lived (it may be revived one day) for I worked at a workman's comp facility where I had little patience for my patients.
