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.

  • My City.... Boston, Massachusetts

    October 22, 2009

    • Boston was developed by immigrants.  The Native Peoples were already there and had their own history, society in tact.  So forget the baloney of the Pilgrims landing at the Plimouth [British spelling] Rock.  They brought the deadly diseases to the Massachusetts Colony, as they called the area.In the City of today, on can walk the Freedom Trail unguided and visit my childhood playground.  It ...
