Fifty years where have they gone.  I have been married to the same wonderful man for forty seven years.  We have had several company moves in our years together starting out in Cincinnati, Dayton, Cleveland, Buffalo Grove, Illinois and finally Maumee, Ohio.  We have two children, Mark and Holly.  Our son and his wife Andrea live in Mount Pleasant SC, and our daughter Holly lives in Waterville, Ohio. I was blessed to be a stay at home Mom when our children were young.   I was room mother several years, did volunteer work.  I was on the nursery school board at our church, and Sunday school teacher.  When our son went away to college I went to work for the Lion Department Store which had three stores in Toledo, a distribution center, and warehouse.   I was the Benefits Coordinator handling all employee benefits for five years.  I then left that position and worked for Findley Davies an HR consulting firm for fourteen years and retired in 2007. During the years our children were growing up we spent our summers on Lake Erie boating, swimming and fishing.  In 2004 we build a new home on a lake in an active adult community in Monclova Twp. Outside of Maumee.   I keep busy doing yoga, water aerobics, boating, reading, and volunteering on committees.  I am limited doing sports since I had an ankle replacement in 2010 but we are still able to travel and enjoy our busy social life.
