About the Book:

The book is about my life history including my education, working record and retirement activities. I was in the Navy in WWII. I have visited many places such as Hong Kong, Taiwan and many other cities in the states. The cities in the U.S. were part of Air Force conventions – a different city every year. Many times I went to Washington, DC and visited the Arlington Cemetery.

About the Author:

I am eighty-seven years old, five feet tall and weigh 110 pounds. My husband and I have been married for fifty-six years. We have two daughters and three grandchildren. I have worked most of my life – starting in our family-owned variety store. After high-school I worked as a payroll clerk, then joined the Navy as a WAVE.

For two years, I worked for a company that made television turners. Later I worked for ten years for Raytheon Company which made heavy equipment for U.S. I had gone to college for 2 ½ years and decided to go back in the evenings for my degree which I received. We moved to Florida and I accepted a position with Gale Research – publishers of reference books. When I retired, I moved to a retirement community and served on nine different boards for the home owners association.

I love to read and do needlework which includes tatting, knitting, and needlepoint. I have conducted a class in pool aerobics for twenty years.
