After graduation I worked for Fireman's Fund Insurance Company for eight years. When my children were born I was a stay at home mom and a participant in many activities and fundraisers for sports events and for the schools. I also spent much of my time in the classrooms as a teachers aid. I did work out of the home when my children were older for many different companies. My husband, Aldo had his own business in retail liquor where I also worked until Aldo retired. I now spend much of my time line dancing, playing bridge,going to movies and visiting my children and two grandchildren. Aldo and I plan to visit Boston and then to France this September.
I have recently joined a theater group called "The Vagabond Players". This group travels to senior centers, retirement homes and communities, assisted living centers and health care facilities. They bring live theater to people who don't get out to see live theater. This May will be their big production similar to the "Ziegfeld Follies". I will take part with a group of dancers and will perform in four numbers. This is fun for me and I am enjoying my new venture.

I attended Emerson Elementary School until the fourth grade. My family moved to Taft Avenue when I was ten years old, I then attended Rockridge elementary School through the 6th grade. I went to Claremont Jr. Hight School and then on to Oakland Tech. I then attended Oakland City College for one year.
