Rosemarie's Story
Life
After graduation from John Adams I worked for one year in lower Manhatten. Commuting 1 1/2 hours each way to work was not the way I wanted to spend the rest of my working life. I then left NY for college in Rhode Island majoring in Elementary Education. After graduation I stayed in RI and taught first grade. I met my husband, Victor, while I was a college student and we settled first in Barrington, RI and later in Dighton, MA. We have now lived in Dighton for 39 years. Both of our daughters are married. Alissa has two children and Kristine has a son. Vic and I are enjoying grandparenthood.
I went back to school and earned two M.Ed. degrees; one in Special Education and the other in Educational Technology. For the last 17 years of my teaching career I taught ncarcerated adolescent boys in a maximum secure setting. It was a job I truly enjoyed. June, 2002, I was "...Expand for more
pardoned" and retired from teaching. Since then I have been so busy I do not know how I had time to work. I serve on several Boards, read, enjoy gardening in good weather, belong to three book review groups, several professional organizations and play with our grandchildre, etc. etc. We have enjoyed travelling since we both retired. We spent a month in Hawaii and 3 1/2 weeks in Alaska and Vancouver, BC. In between we visited states in the south and southwest.
We loved Sedona, AZ and hope to return. We did go back twice while making trips to the west and southwest. Meanwhile I have gone to Aruba and FL with friends. This summer we will be going away with family to western MA and NH. Vic and I will get to spend two weeks in VT.
Now that Vic has recovered from a hip replacement and my diagnosis of leukemia is in Stage 1, we will keep on going. "If you rest, you rust!"
