| What have you been doing for the past 60 years?: After working for The State of Florida and The City of Jacksonville with the JEA and the Hospital Authority, I moved to Fernandina Beach in 1976, where I got into my present occupation as a Real Estate Broker. During this time I became the proud mother of four children. In 1990, my life took a real turn when my husband and myself, along with my youngest daughter (the others were grown), moved to Puerto Rico. We moved to a small town on the west coast named Rincon, known for its big wave surfing. In 1993, I opened my own real estate brokerage and then life really got exciting! Within five years my oldest daughter moved here with her husband and my two grandsons and built and opened an oceanfront inn. During this time, my husband of 26 years decides to move back to the states....I chose to stay here. Best decision I ever made! Then in 2000, my son moved down here with his internet business. My youngest daughter graduated college in the states and also moved back here to open her own restaurant. So here I am, owner of a successful real estate business, living in paradise, with a house on the ocean, surrounded by my children and grandchildren. I have to say, the past 50 years have been pretty good to me.... | |
