I am from Peoria, Illinois. I have been a widow since 12-1991 and a divorcee after 5 months in 2001. My schools include Richwoods High School, Mossville Elementary School. I later attended Phoenix College (Criminal Justice & 2 writing courses, Writing), Southern Illinois University Carbondale (Speech, Business Ed), Glendale Community College (Anthropology), Rio Solado (Business/Accounting, How to Raise Your Self Esteem).
In 1990 I had to take over my husband's company as he acquired Alzeihmers and was ruining his electrical wholesale supply company. He and his sons brought this business up from a $10,000 investment in 1962 to become a $35 million a year business in 1990. He...Expand for more
was extending credit to large contractors that went bankrupt thanks to Keating. I had never worked in his company of 75 employees in 2 states with 7 branches.

The story was printed up in 6 magazines including Executive Female, Independent Business and Business Start-ups.
My interests now days include RVing to new and interesting places and fishing when I can. I like all CSI Series, plus the reruns of I dream of Jeannie, Bewitched. I enjoy Animal Planet and recently I enjoy the Dome and Extant. Sometimes I get a Redbox movie CD to view with my great nephews when they are here.
