As a recap to the last 50 years since high school, I have had a diversity of careers in marketing, sales, training, advertising, loan underwriting, computer consulting and more. These jobs gave me the opportunity to live in Boca Raton, Dallas, Charlotte and Tampa. I retired for a few years, got bored and recently started a full time job. (I know I must be crazy!)
Along the way I got involved in doing many TV commercials and had the opportunity to be an extra in 2 movies and work 2 years on the series Dallas. I was even Linda Gray's stand in and a member of the Screen Actors Guild. It was a lot of fun!
Travel is probably my favorite pastime. I have been to Europe five times (7 countries), Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean. I'm looking forward to visiting many more countries in the future.
My son attended Berklee College of Music in Boston and worked for Sony Music for 8 years before moving to Tampa to be closer to the family.
The only claim to fame I may have came as a result of being on an airliner that lost all it's power. My story appeared in our local papers in Florida as well as newspapers in London, Newark, the National Inquirer and Star magazine. I remember Joan Jalbert calling me from NH to ask if it was really me. Fortunately the incident didn't diminish my love of flying, so I'm looking forward to my flight on May 20th. Can't wait to see everyone!
