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.
