My life has been anything but boring since I left Wildwood. I've been married several times (not too proud of that, but it does prove that I'm loveable). First marriage was when I was 19 and it lasted 6 years. Second was in 2000 and lasted 2 years, and the third was in 2003 for 1.5 years (the next one will probably only last 6 months at the rate I'm going, he he).
In 2001 I moved to Michigan and lived there for 3 years. I disliked where I worked, but loved living there and made some great friends who will be in my life forever. In 2004 I was going to come home to NJ when I decided to visit a friend in Arizona first. When I got there I saw so much opportunity and decided to stay and check out the southwest for a while. I lived there in Tucson for 3 years and moved home to NJ in May 2007. Now that I'm home, I'm working in the casino's here again. I haven't rooted myself with any one casino yet, but that will soon come.
In 2005 I had a little fight with breast cancer, got through that and had a rematch last October. Even though things are good for now, I'm certain that there will be more sparring matches in my future.
Well, that's the meat of my story, but not even close to summing up who I've become and the fun life I've lived. I look forward to seeing all of you, my old classmates from Wildwood, again one of these days to really do some catching up. I welcome anyone to e-mail me at mariajgrande@yahoo.com.
Okay, one of my favorite memories has to be the class trip to upstate NY and watching the hypnosis show. I can still see all of them biting into those lemons thinking that they were apples... not one of them puckered!!! I also thought it was pretty funny and sad at the same time, that Genevieve Manzoni was booted from going on the trip because she called Mrs. Struble an asshole. Oh, those were the good ole' days.
