Debra's Story
Life
I am living up in New England after a 20 year "visit" to San Diego. I went there for college and stayed a long time! I received my Bach. in Criminal Justice and Public Admin. I went on to receive a Master's Degree in Forensic Science. I spent many years as a licensed private investigator. I was one of the first females licensed as a PI in CA, in the early 80's. I opened my own business and enjoyed the variety of cases worked. I also spent time working for the San Diego PD in gang statistics and as an investigator for the public defender's office.
I relocated to the East Coast basically for the sake of my children. I wanted them to study in Boston or NY once in college. We've been here 17 years now.
I was raised in the Catholic Church but, in my 30's, really developed a true relationship with Jesus. I went to seminary in my 40's and was ordained as a Chaplain a few years ago. I no...Expand for more
w work as a police chaplain. I have also served as a USO Chaplain and Red Cross Disaster Spiritual Care volunteer.
I enjoy staying plugged into theater, music, and performing arts. I've done community theater and choreography over the years. I'm teaching myself the mandolin and ukulele.
I ride a beautiful Harley Davidson and I'm very involved in the New England motorcycle and veteran communities.
I'm married to a great guy; born and raised in Boston. He's a Marine, and a retired Boston cop. We are huge Red Sox fans, though I can't hate the Yankees (I keep that to myself!). I have four great children..ages 22-32, two girls and two boys and I'm a grandmother to two. I miss living in Massapequa, and try to visit often. New Hampshire is a nice place to be, but nowhere as cool as NY. I would love to know if anyone else from our class lives in New England? I need to tune up my accent!
