After graduation, I attended Averett University but was swept off my feet by a handsome Naval Officer to whom I have been married for almost 49 years. We have two daughters, both married with two children each. We lived in Fairfax for 27 years finishing out his 20-year Navy career, followed by retirement from IBM. We now live in Winchester.

Thanks to a tour of duty in England, I developed a taste for good quality tea and started my own company in 2001, Tea For All Reasons, LLC, with two websites to handle the demand, www.teaforallreasons.com and teaforallreasons.etsy.com.

Made the 20th reunion and perhaps I can make the 50th!
