Marilyn's Story
I moved to Vermont the end of our seventh grade year at Glen Head. I attended a one room schoolhouse for eigth grade. There were six eighth graders in the twenty five students of all ages. After our brand new wing in Glen Head it was a real experience to be in a "Little House On The Praire" situation. I found myself further along than the others and spent some time helping with the little ones.
For high school I went to the oldest, private secondary school in in continuous operation in Vermont. There were twenty-five in my class there.
At Dartmouth Hitchcock I studied medical technology and met my husband who was a Russian Civilization major at Dartmouth and we married on his graduation day. We lived in N.Y.C. where he studied Slavic Linguistics at Columbia and I worked at Mt. Sinai Hospital doing research for two well know pathologists.
After that, it was time for active duty in the military since my husband had graduated as an Army officer. We lived briefly in Georgia, Baltimore, and spent a year living on the Seventeen mile drive in Carmel...Expand for more
, Ca. while Lauren studied Czech at the Language School in Monterey. When we left Ca. we toured Europe for a month and settled down in Frankfurt where our daughter and son were born.
Upon returning to the U.S. we settled in N.J. and Lauren worked in N.Y.C. and we raised our children. We divided our time between N.J. and a vacation home in Vt., always wishing we could live in Vt. Finally our wish came true and we have a 96 acre farm with three horses, chickens, ducks and a really old goose.
We ski, snowshoe, snowmobile, hike, ride, boat on the Connecticut River and nearby lakes to keep active and we also enjoy the many theatre companies that are nearby as well as Opera North. We do not have to venture to Boston (2 1/2 hrs.) or N.Y.C. (4 1/2 hrs.) very often and that suits us just fine. We have many, many very highly rated country inns for fine dining and we feel very satisfied that we are living the good life.
We have traveled all over Europe many times and been as far as Saint Petersburg but now we hope to stand on the Great Wall of China soon!
