Children/Grandchildren
We have one daughter who lives in Cincinnati. She is the audiovisual tech for a church as well as an administrator and teacher for a school enrichment program. She enjoys the variety. No grandchildren so far, but we have 4 grand nephews. The one good thing about covid was that our daughter and her cat came to live with us because her jobs were suspended. She was here about a year. It was wonderful except for covid, of course.
My Story
I married David, a Naval officer and nuclear engineer, in 1980. We were transferred to West Point where David taught engineering to the Army cadets for 3 years. Fun times. We settled in Fairfax in 1986 when our daughter was born. We have lived here since. I have worked as a secretary, cake decorator, vet assistant, office manager and interpreter through the years, but I spent a lot of time, with my family, caring for my Mom.
