Laurie Bernard:  

Life I have been in office management for 40 years, working in my parent's real estate office for 5 years, a mining engineering company for 10 years, and a civil engineering company in Tucson for 18 years, which closed it's doors in August, 2009 after 32 years in business. I'm now managing the office for Darling Geomatics. Love the people and the job. I was divorced in 1989 after 14 years of marriage and have two children: Brian is 32 and living in Mesa, AZ as a boat repair technician and married to Heather. Leah is 29 and graduated from Pima Medical Institute in phlebotomy and Medical Assistant Certification. She lives in Richmond, VA with her husband, Jeffery. She has a 9 year old son who is the light of my life. I'm at the point in my life where I am starting to think about what I want to do in 10 years - NOT WORK!!! Have been socking away as many retirement dollars as possible (but that balance sure changed in 2008!) so I can have some fun before it's too late.
