About Me

  • Raised, educated, married in Boston.  We moved to NJ and found our piece of paradise on the Delaware River.  Darling was KIA in Vietnam.  The fairy tale was over.  Because I've attended so many different units of higher education, I've many licenses and permits.  I've enjoyed many different careers.  Communications; commercial building; department store owner; real estate broker; city government; law enforcement  and I believe most of all being in politics.

  • Too Soon Gone

    September 24, 2009

    • A dear elder cousin told me I'd not lived long enough to understand death and mourn friends.  When two would pass on the same day, then I was old enough.  It has happened this year.  It began on January 31. Then in seven days, I'd lost eight friends, relatives, acquaintances.  The death list has grown beyond imagination this year.I grew up in Boston and knew Teddy Kennedy "well" ...

  • Forgiveness to Oneself/Repentance

    September 11, 2009

    • Life is so short.  As we age, before we check the comics and news we check the obituaries. Yesterday, checking the obits via the internet for an area my Darling and I chose to make our home, I read the obit of a dear lady at the County Courthouse, who was fabulous with whatever we, a group of military widows needed anything under her control.  The County Clerk, her "boss" was our ...
