Treasure every day you get up, you never know, it may be your last, enjoy it to the fullest!!!!

WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? I worked at Lenox China for 32yrs. In December, 2005 Lenox closed it doors here in New Jersey for good. Right now I am unemployed, looking for work but it is not easy today. One thing I do say "Thank God I got my diploma" so many of my friends at work don't have one and now after all these years they have to go back and get thier GED, which is not easy.

 

 

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.  I live in South Jersey less than 10 miles from Atlantic city, in Galloway township.I have been a widow for 6yrs now, my husband suddenly passed away in Sept. 2000, so now it is just me and my 5 cats. I have my own home and live in a very quiet, woodsy and nice area, I enjoy living down here, every time I visit my family who now live in Avenel, I can't wait to leave the hustle and bustle and get home where it is so peaceful. I enjoy camping, which I have a 27ft camper and go camping every summer.

 

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES? Having Debbie Filipone Polidura for a best friend. Debbie and I met in first grade in school 20 in Colonia and are still friends today. I love when we would play hooky in our senior year. She got caught smoking in the girl's room and was suspended for 3 days, well you quessed it I stayed out with her. Heck, that's what friends are for........ Debbie has always been part of my family, she is a sister to my 4 sisters and 2 brothers, she was my Maid of Honor when I got married.

 

WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS?  To find another job and hopefully retire in 10 yrs.

 

WILL YOU ATTEND THE 35TH REUNION?  Not sure.

 

DO YOU HAVE ANY MESSAGES FOR OUR CLASSMATES?  I just hope everyone is in good health. I can't believe when I was in High School I could not wait to graduate, now I am looking forward to retirement in 10yrs..........How funny life is.... The stages we go through. Wishing you all health and happiness!!!!!!!!!
