I went to Hudson Valley Community
College in Troy, NY, for two years. I
started with computer programming and ended with
secretarial science. I ran out of money
before I received a degree. From 1972 to 1974, I
worked as a clerk in the Rome Hospital emergency
room. After my mother died, I moved to
Kingston, NY and started working for the Social
Security Administration. In 1976, I moved to
Atlanta, GA for seven years and worked for the
Centers for Disease Control. In 1983, I
moved to Oklahoma City to be near family (my
brother Tom lived there with his wife and two
kids). In 1985, they divorced so I moved
back to Atlanta. While in OKC, I met the guy
who I'm still living with. From 1989 to
1997, we lived in Savannah. In 1989,
Hurricane Hugo was targeted for the
Savannah-Charleston, SC area, and then a couple
years later, I think it was Hurricane Fran we had
to run from. To avoid the stress of
hurricanes, the stink of the paper mill, and to
enjoy the four seasons, we moved here
(Winston-Salem, NC) in 1997. I bought my
first house in 2008 so we'll be staying here for a
while. I visit my sister and her family near
Boston often, and I try to make a trip to the
Adirondacks every year. (Oh, and I never had
any kids.)
