Dee's Story
Life
I have had such a diversified life people shake their heads when they see my resume. I lived in Newton, NJ for 27 years as I raised my 2 boys and was a volunteer for many years. I ran for office and was Mayor of Newton from 87-92. I left my husband of 27 yrs. and left all my old famliar places and headed to Delaware where I was the happiest I ever was working. I was a freelance coordinator/Escort on a 150 ft charter boat from May until Oct for 4 years. I had such a blast and was the healthiest and skinniest I had ever been. From Oct till May I worked in the travel industry. (by the way as a single person after so many years I met many jerks along the way.) That is a whold other story.
Then in 1996 they sold the beautiful "Captains Lady II" and I was out of my dream job. I heard Cunard Cruise...Expand for more
Lines was hiring back in NYC. I started with them in Sept. of 96 and they moved the Co. to Miami in Nov. of 97. They made me a deal I couldn't refuse and off I went. I was there until 2000. I loved my job, as I was on the ships more than I was on land, but when I was back on land it was hard to make friends or relationships as I would just be gone again for 3 months at a time. I decided along with my son Peter that I needed to go "home" and be around my old friends and family. Unfortunately my homecoming went bad ad my best friend in the world died 2 weeks after I came back and my beautiful Mom 8 weeks later.
I have tried to adjust here by opening a gourmet hot dog shop with my son. I am now on the move again---where I will go God only knows. I must add another chapter to my already started book.
