Maebelle's Story
Hank (Henry Barger) and I have been married 60 years. We have 3 children, 8 grandchildren, and 3 Great Grandkids. We've lived in Tampa, Florida for the past 43 years, (life is great in Gods Country). I am a Nationally Certified Interpreter for the Deaf, As such I spent 10 years as Executive Director of the Tampa Deaf Services Center, This was before the advent of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We provided interpreter services and telephone relay services for many years before it became federally mandated and funded. It was a great learning experience and a very gratifying career. I left that position and went into the public school system for another 13 years, retiring in 2004. I now interpret on a free-lance basis when called by an agency. I love the flexability and the option of selecting jobs that are very interesting. Court and legal settngs are my forte.

ot always easy raising 3 children on one salary, But we felt it was important. We now enjoy retirement with our three babies (our dogs)oliver, bellla and simon. Grand children's activities and family get togethers occupy much of our time and its all so much fun. We've been very fortunate and are very grateful for our many blessings. I enjoy drawing, painting, playing with the dogs, swimming, playing poker on line (for points only) no money involved. Hahaha We have many great memories of camping, fishing, scalloping in the bay, skiing in the mountains of Colorado when we lived there. Going to the beach in San Diego CA. when we lived there, and a thrilling experience white water rafting. Whew!! Its been a blast. Three years ago we fulfilled a life-long dream of going to Hawaii. 12 glorious days cruising the islands with our eldest daughter and her husband. All in All I surely can't complain, the rough spots in life are all overshadowed by the wonderful experiences we've had. Thanks to my wonderful Husband and soul-mate, Life's been a beach!!!
