Alma's Story
Let's see! I hope you all remember me as a nice person, even though I was working on my second child before I even graduated! What was I thinking? Obviously, I wasn't.
Certainly I cannot write my life story here to catch you up on what I have done for the last 37 years. Learned alot for sure.
As it turns out when I left Sun Valley, my first job was at JC Penneys at the Granite Run Mall. I worked in the record department at night. From there I went to Lewis Tree Surgeons in Media. That lasted about a year when I decided that I wasn't going to go very far working these odd jobs.
I went to DCCC and got my Associate's Degree in Business - Executive Secretarial and when I left there I landed a job at Mars Money Systems in Folcroft. A division of M&M/Mars, it was a great place to work. In 1988, they changed their name to Mars Electronics International and moved to West Chester (right catty-corner to Commodore (remember them) now QVC Headquarters. My career there was a hell of a ride - but it was a good one! It lasted for 26 years.
I started as the Department Secretary for the HR Department (4 yrs), then the Employment Administrator (3 yrs), the Office Manager (4 yrs), the Production Manager (9 yrs), and finally the National Customer Service Manager (6 yrs). Somewhere in between, I earned a dual-bachelor degree and a master's degree and even after I...Expand for more
retired, I went back and contracted for a year commuting from Ocean City, Maryland - where I live now!
I am married for the third time. However, this one has lasted 20 years. Just couldn't get it right the first two times. But, that's okay. Three is definately a charm. Ben is a great guy. I met him at the West Chester Inn 21 years ago. He was the General Manager there - which is another good story. But, his to tell. He is now the COO of Marshall Hotels and Resorts, loves his career and is still at it.
In order I've lived in Brookhaven, Aston, Brookhaven (again), Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Upland, Brookhaven (again), Boothwyn, and West Chester with satellite homes in Baltimore, Rochester, NY, Waterford, Connecticut, the Poconos, Hartford, Connecticut, West Hartford, Connecticut and Ocean City, Maryland.
I've travelled to many places for both my career and for personal. I've been to England, Switzerland and Mexico many times on business and have met and worked with many wonderful people. The best leisure destination I have found is Grand Cayman Island. The best adventure destination I have found is Machu Picchu, Peru.
I blow off steam by walking the boardwalk (5 miles) 5 times a week. I also do pilates about 4 times a week.
I am enjoying life and I hope you are too! I joined Classmates out of shear curiosity. Hope to hear from you soon!
