| About Me | I worked for 5 years at Sawyer Lumber Company as an assistant to the Treasurer. I got married and had 2 boys Tim and Marc. In order to stay home with my kids I ran an in home day care for 7 years. After that again to be able to be avaliable for my children I started my own business Classic Monogrammers. I ran this out of my home for 20 years. In 1995 I got divorced. During slow times in my business I would go to work for larger Embroidery Companies and was hired as a production manager for a company called Cartouch in Shrewsbury for 2 years. After that company failed the business manager from that company and I changed the name of my business (Classic Monogrammer which I never gave up) to Embroidery Express Plus in Shrewsbury in 2001. After 4 years in a slow economy the company was unable to grow enough for myself and my partner to pull a full pay check. In the mean time I got engaged to a retired stockbroker living in CT.

I have worked in the DayCare field and am now working as a School Health Aid and loving it. We travel a great deal espically enjoying Crusing. My sons are both grown and living on their own. My oldest is 29 and getting married to a wonderful young lady from Northboro who is a 5th grade teacher in Marlboro. He is a Customer Service Manager for DMX Music in Northboro and he also has his own DJ Company. My youngest son Marc has been a member of the Irish Punk Band The Dropkick Murphys for 7 years. He left the DKM in order to pursue his own musical passion. He started a new band The 57th Clovers. He is in negotiations with severl record companies at this time. I would like to start my own Day Care as I love kids but traveling and running a business can be difficult. So we will see. In the mean time I'm "patientl...(read more) |
