I have lived most of my life in Maryland (aside from 3 1/2 years in Texas), but I am still considered as someone who came from someplace up Northeast.  That modified Staten Island accent still lingers in my speech.

I was married to Art Anderson (New Dorp, "56) for almost 34 years before he died of melanoma in 1995.  I have two sons, Gregory and Steven and one grandson, Ian, who will be entering college this year.  We all live in Columbia, Maryland.

I'm active in several groups at church, among them, choir, bell choir and head of the Senior Christians and a member of a group of women who mostly go out for lunch.

I bowl in a duck pin bowling league (smaller balls, narrower pins, requiring greater skill).  I also like to travel abroad and in the U.S., garden, do crossword puzzles, read and dabble in genealogy.  Lots to do, so little time!
