These days I go by ‘AJ’

October 2005

It’s been so many years!  My family moved from Roosey Roads in the fall of my senior year ---Bummer!  First moving to Jacksonville , FL for two months then on to Patuxent River , MD where I graduated in 1967.  I attended college in Maryland and worked in Washington , D.C.   Leonard (my wonderful husband) and I married in 1971.  By the way, he’s a navy brat too.  Soon after marrying we moved to southern Spain for a while then to Phoenix , AZ.   We’ve lived in the valley on and off since 1973.  Leonard is an Electrical Engineer/Project Manager and retired from Honeywell in Sept 2005.  His projects moved us to Philadelphia , Tucson and Seattle .  We could have moved to Saudi Arabia in the late 1990’s----so-glad we didn’t!

Our daughter Tabitha is 32 and teaches grade school.  Granddaughter Taylor is 5 and is in kindergarten.

I’ve kept busy doing school and hospital volunteer work and recently joined the American Red Cross.  I enjoy snow skiing the Rockies , amateur photography, antiquing for Limoges and shopping----so many stores, so little time……J

Leonard and I have always had the “travel bug” and have ventured to Europe several times with our vagabond buddies.  We’ve also had fun throughout the Caribbean , Hawaii , Morocco , Mexico , Turkey and Canada .  Oh yeah, Japan too.  Our families say we live out of a suitcase, but as long as we are able, we’ll go!  On one of our trips to Puerto Rico we managed to get on base to check out some of the old haunts.  I was surprised to see barracks standing where our high school used to be!  Oh well, things change eventually, but I’ll always have fond memories.
