all of us agreed on a good solution. And here I am up in Maine doing volunteer work,making new friends and really enjoying life and what it has to offer.My sisters still live in N.J;but my family is up here in Maine and I love it.

We both love the idea of not wanting to get married,but just having companionship.
I always wanted to be a draftsmen when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were wrong.
my favorite way to relax is to go shopping or try cooking something new.
my biggest hero was Major Yates who died sept13,1969 in Vietnam
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is judy french, because my first girl friend &kiss.
Love to watch the NY Giants.
My current age is 60. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be really old. I was so completely wrong.

My first job was at ernies deli, where I got paid $1.00hr to stock shelves. What I remember most about it is friendly atmosphere.
many memories of childhood in Hoboken with my older brother
