Brief History - So What Have
I Been Doing for the Last
38 Years! |
I was a lending officer with
Manufacturer Hanover in Manhattan for several years after I got married
in 1967. Moved to Boston in 1971 and became a stay-at-home Mom until
I was divorced in Houston in 1977. I raised my daughters alone until
1983 when I was lucky enough to find a great new husband Jim Peil.
My working career focused on commercial office building management leasing
and sales - and I have been a real estate broker in Texas since 1982.
When Jim passed away in 1996 I focused on working hard and adjusting to
living completely alone for the first time in my life. Then I retired
and married my wonderful husband Scott in 2001. Despite all
the hard times I had to go through I’ve always felt like I hit the big
jackpot - and LIFE IS GOOD |
| Hobbies |
I love to travel
browse obscure little shops in out of the way places and take
lots of pictures. I have been into Scrapbooking for several years
and I find the whole process of chronicling my travels to other countries
to be very relaxing and satisfying. Im still a big reader I enjoy
playing around in the stock market - and I love watching old movies.
My husband claims Im an Olympic Shopper –that’s a shopper not necessarily
a buyer - but I think that just an extension of my days in
real estate - always trying to make a deal |
| Did I Leave Something Out?? |
I still have family in the
New York area - but I rarely get up there anymore. I wouldn’t think
of chancing a trip between October and April - I think my bloods way too
thin But I am looking forward to the possibility of seeing
all you kids at the reunion next year. |
