I finished my degree at Westfield State College and taught French at Southwick High School for three years. Frank and I moved to Monterey CA where I attended,the Monterey Institute of International Studies. We then relocated to Long Island where I finished my masters degree at Stony Brook University and taught French and Spanish at various schools. We have three daughters who are all married (living in Long Island City, Brooklyn and Miller Place NY) and we have three grandchildren. We are now retired and split out time between our house in Westfield and our house in Venice, FL. In retirement I enjoy singing, acting, and golfing.

I had my first experience on stage last year and the program stated that the last time I was on stage was with the high school cheerleaders when we performed "On the Good Ship Lollypop" for Spartan Spectaculum
