- I worked several jobs in sales and marketing before finding my nitch in advertising. I worked in the advertising department for one of the major retailers in Memphis before joining the Rutland Group as Media Director. I held this position until I retired in 2001.
- I remarried at 50 to a very brave man who became a husband, father and grandfather all at one time, and is the love of my life. We have three grandsons who all play baseball and are honor students. The oldest, Heith just signed with The University of Memphis on a full baseball scholarship. Kyle and Grant are looking at doing the same, either with Clemson or South Carolina University. Our granddaughter Catherine has graduated and is working as a stylist-colorist at a spa-salon here in Memphis. I just happed to be one of her best clients. Our son is a commercial electrician and he and his family live here in Memphis. Our daughter is a stay at home Mom who is very active with the boy's schools and ball teams. She and her family live in Columbia, SC.
- I am active in my church Peace Lutheran as a council member and hospitality chairperson. We belong to the Parrothead Porkers, a competition barbeque team. We compete each year in Memphis In May, a competition with over 300 teams from all over the world, and travel regionally. During baseball season we are on the go with the boys who are on teams that travel and I spend two weeks in South Carolina with our daughter. My husband and I try to take at least two trips a year. We've been out west to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Arizona, Santa Fe and Taos. We've taken a cruise to Alaska, and trips to Mexico, the Caribbean, and the Bahamas. Our favorite places are Key West, Boston, Cape Cod and of course, South Carolina.
