About Me Would love to sit down with all my high school friends and share the many countries I have worked and lived. I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to see the World in many of my Civil Service positions. When I was assigned to Turkey as Director for U.S. Customs, was probably the most exciting employment I had. Since I have always been outspoken and women did not have rights, I was lucky to complete my 4 year tour. I came close to getting in trouble many a time.

Then there were the huge craters when we bombed the Germans. As I went to each bunker, there were covered with plaques of the American soldiers’ names that died during this invasion. This was truly the most memorable place God took me to. Also visited almost every country in Europe, since Europe is not really that big a country, spent time in Paris, Belgium, Netherlands, Prague, Yugoslavia, Switzerland, Austria, you name the country and I was there. I worked and lived in all four sections in Germany, and was there when the ‘Wall’ came down. Also lived and worked in Russia, China, the Philippines, Africa, Australia, Greece, and Dhahran. Oh, forgot England; took a two week trip for R&R. I lived and worked abroad for 22 years. Bu...(read more)
