Barbara's Story
Life
I am still married to Gary, a wonderful man who continues to keep me laughing all the time...29 years.
I have 2 beautiful daughters, Kristin and Kara ages 27 and 24.
Kristin is married and has the most handsome baby boy, Jason Tyler, he is gorgeous.......and very happy....She works for KISS 108 as the Executive Assistant to the Head Honcho.
Kara graduated from Skidmore College in 2006 with her Psych degree... she is living back in Massachusetts after 4 years in NY and works for Boston Properties in the Property Management Division. Life is good!
Although Gary and I would love to slow down a little and start looking for our retirement beach.... it has to be a beach. We still live in Wellesley, MA but are hoping in the near future to head somewhere warm.
I am working for the AGC of MA in the Marketing Department. I design and maintain their website and their publications... I also plan their major events...that of course is the fun part of the job...going to all the best places for food and wine tastings and arranging the best events possible... it's kind of like planning a wedding every month and then getting to attend as the host and see how it all plays out... Who knew there was a job out there for someone who loves to throw parties.
