Judith's Story
Hi y'all ..just remembered what I wrote in Janus '64 ..Judy Coyne leaves for greener pastures.. & here I am down south (2nd tour of duty) & I love it. Yep the bible-belt & great weather.
Altho I'm still a snowbird at heart ..its great down here.
Everyone loves flowers/shrubs
& doin' yardwork (including me) Seems like we do yard work ..then take off for a w/e bike ride..for my husband's 50th happy birthday I bot him a Harley - it changed our lifestyle - love being in the fresh air (yes I wear hemlet when I have to).
I am high on life...work smart
& do volunteer w/Crisis Ministery uptown Charlotte NC
boardmember w/homeowners assoc & my beautiful church.
(here's a story 2 yrs ago I attend a funneral of a churchmembers son - at reception line I heard my name called out in delight - I turned 'round & there was Marty Driscoll Choquette ('64) & brother Richie...
it was their 1st cousin's son funneral & they were in Clt NC for it...while talking w/my priest..Marty said "what happened in East Hartford..stays in EH" LOL While in CT I worked w/State Senator W. Smith (D)
great man..great experience
in political arena -he had 1/2 Htfd constituents ..Sen Chris Dodd the other half.
Law has always been my forte..
I worked for several criminal lawyers in Htfd Attys Joe Fazano & Cardwell& Cardwell..
After awhile I needed a break from the 9-7pm job & started doing T-shirts designs wayback when t-shirts were just worn as underwear. Did design & silkscreening - you learn what people want something for nothing... did alot of NYC trips nice place to visit yet never wanted to live there. Just typing the above off the cuff..makes me thankful for so many things in life..I'm not materilistic.. i dont ev...Expand for more
en know how spell it & Engish & History were my best studies!
I always wanted to be a mermaid..then a Hawaiin to a dancer...my dreams came true..I own my own Trucking Company..yep an 18 wheeler
I have my own ICC rights IFTA
MC & FMCA (truckin' jargon)
Also all the high price diesel fuel & road taxes that come w/it. Downsized over the years from dozen tractor/trailers to 1 & no hired hands some good stories there :( My husband drives cross counrty every week - just bought new reefer that would be (refrigerated trailer) to haul produce & food. Figure in this economy state ..people have to eat - when I see what brokers are paying to haul food products & the markup in the grocery stores I figure this is our contribution to
feeding the hungry & poor.
To offset driving "big rig"
Iron Horse Express, Inc. Black trk&trailer..we get on
black Harley go from 18 to 2 wheels..have a 5thwheel toyhauler..when time is crunched & we want take off
Cherokee Mtns or Myrtle Beach
NC is somelike CT - has it all mtns ocean valley 4 season all great - lots of transplants from up north
& a good mix of down home southern (my marriage is grits & cream of wheat or cornbread & english muffins..I say that even tho Earl Ray (they all go by 1st & middle name) hates corn in any form cause he ate so much of it growning up..he says he was raised in Raleigh & I say I was brought up in Boston! ..as my longtime homeroom classmate 60-64 friend Cookie says.."I wasn't born I the south- but I got here as fast as I could".
