Debra's Story
Life
Life after high school has been pretty good...so far. I went to college and began a career as a dental assistant. I got married in 1989 and in 1993 my hubby and I decided to move to a tropical island!! We left Illinois for Key West, Florida. I've become an avid scuba diver, boater and have reeled in quite a few game fish! I've also had a great opportunity to put my love of animals to a good use by becoming involved with a wildlife rescue organization. I've been able to work with all sorts of animals like hawks, pelicans, seabirds, racoons and even whales and dolphins. We rescue sick, injured or orphaned animals and do what we can to get them healthy and back into the wild. By far, my most memorable experience was working for 4 months with a baby Pygmy Sperm whale...I'll never forget how amazing it was to be so close to such an incredible creature.
Since moving here I have had some chances to do some traveling..Mexico, Jamaica and the Bahamas...but it is always nice to get ...Expand for more
back to Key West. It has been a lot of fun living in a "tourist" town..I have met wonderful people from around the world...haven't met Jimmy Buffet yet! There have been quite a few from Clinton County.
Now it's 2004 and the year has marked some changes...I am single again and I have started my own business. I am now co-owner of Mer-Maids Boat Detailing. A friend and I have a boat/yacht cleaning business. We do everything from washing, waxing, "housekeeping" and boat sitting. It's been great! We have worked on boats from 20 feet to 130 feet. When I'm not scrubbing decks I like to keep active outdoors and spend time with my Jack Russell Terrier and my 3 cats.
Wow, time flies...it is 2008 and I have been dating a wonderful man for the past 2 years! We have done alot of traveling together, to New York, Michigan, Las Vegas and Utah. I am still living in Key West, but I do try to get back "home" as often as I can and it is always nice to see familiar faces back in Germantown.
