20 years after high school graduation,  I went back to school and earned an Associate's degree in Secretarial Science.  Yes, 2 years of shorthand to get that degree.
With 30 years experience in the corporate world, it seems that I was always involved with numbers. October 4th we became proud great grandparents (Nonna and Pap) to a beautiful baby girl.  While I love living in the Lowcountry, we don't see
our beautiful Nevaeh as much as we would like.  This time last year our family
welcomed another addition, our deputy sheriff granddaughter married a
