I graduated from Dutchess County BOCES nursing school in June of 1980. Next year will be my 30th anniversary. Being an LPN changed my life. I never made it to be an RN but it allowed me to make a living, be self-sufficient, have a way out of a horrible marriage, be a single Mom and know some tremendous moments.

Julie and I grew up watching this tree every Fall when we would go see the foliage in Vermont. It remains a tradition to this day! Sometimes, it's just ablaze in color! We always call it, "our tree."
I think Julie looks so funny here! We went to the Lafayette Theater in Suffern, N.Y. to see the original Hunchback of Notre Dame. What a beautiful theater it is!

Father Mychal Judge worked for the New York City Fire Department and ran into the World Trade Center towers to help his men. They carried him out, which was a moment captured by a photographer at the scene.
Father Mychal served the parish where my parents went to church, which is where this cemetery is. This piece of metal came from one of the towers.
"The" Titanic staircase. (I snuck this shot!) We saw this exhibit in NYC.
Why do I love this picture? Look at the absolute delight and excitement in that girl's face as she stands before the Venus de Milo at the Louvre.
I may not be working anymore, but I like to keep my finger in the pie. Volunteering for the Medical Reserve Corps in Dutchess County is one way of doing that. This was a flu vaccine clinic. 2009
