Manufacturing for 5 years, out of HS.

Then I went to work as a CNA, worked weekends as a PBX operator for 2 years of Nursing School. I graduated nursing in 1976, worked 21 years as an ER Charge Nurse, 12 years as a Volunteer EMT, & A volunteer Firefighter.

I did a short stint with some "undercover work"...

I was medically retired in 1998!

My LTR of 10 years...we owned & I operated a Paint Your Own Pottery studio for 6 years.

I dabbled as a Open Cook in a pizza place, BBQ joint, and a couple other places.

My years in medical were the most rewarding as were my years in Rescue & Fire.

Now I just sit beneath the palm trees, do arts & crafts, about to become a Hospice volunteer, and am a proud parent of the cutest little red dachshund, named Hope. She is 10 & blind, BUT don't tell her she is...
