Linda's Story
Sal and I own and operrate a 14 thousand sq ft food plant that serviced the southeast up to Alabama and as far south as Ft Meyers, for 34 years now we have retired in Ocala to enjoy our grnadchildred in the country. I have seen a few names I remember lets get in touch.
I always wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was not a practical idea. As it turns out, they were wrong. I went back to school to study early childhood and founded The Ocala Montessori Academy. I had 75 kids and loved it for 6 yrs from 1980 to 1986. It was too much work cause we still had the food plant.So I sold it. There is hope for average grade students like Sal and I,between the 2 of us I think our ambition to suceed carried us cause our grades were barely passing.
Looking forward to meeting everyone at the 2010 reunion.
One of my dearest friends was Marjorie Wendling, I still think about her and hope someday we will meet...Expand for more
again. Also Cindy Figueroa,Marilyn Walters.
Actually it would be quite a thrill to meet any of the Leaders or Major "C" s from our yrs.
If I had one do over I think I would have spent more time home with my children instead of working 2 business.
What happened to my first crush?
I married him 38 yrs ago.
To be truly happy I would be living in Fl. retired and enjoying my grandchildren and thats where I'm at now.
Which teachers would I love to see again? Barbara Zinberg and Sandy Newman. They were my mentors. My "To Sir With Love" Teachers.
If I could improve my home I would bulldoze it down. I love the property but the 1959 farm house is not my dream house.
Life doesn't always turn out the way you expect but I found Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% attitude. You can always make lemonade from lemons. I have many times!
Gee! The wildest thing I ever did in school, I am afraid It is still a secret. It was wild alright.
