Now Living In: Northwood, New Hampshire USA
I have 3 children, Kristina 25 who is an EMT for Rockingham Ambulance co., my stepdaughter Abby who is married to Matt and lives in Concord and my son Brian, almost 18, a senior at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. He plays about 6 instruments,plays in Concert BAnd and Pep band, sings in the Concert Chorus and Select Chorus, runs xcountry and track and will assist coaching freshmen basketball for his senior project this year. He has no idea what he wants to do next year. But it will probably be close to home as his girlfriend is one year younger. I taught elementary school for 13 years, did restaurant work for 8 years and this is my 11th year at Coe-Brown. I was in the main office for 10 years and this is my first year as Special Education secretary - a challenge but I like it. Very recently divorced for the 2nd time; don't do too well at the marriage thing I guess. Would like to catch up with some old friends and renew some friendships. I stay in touch with Kathy Knight Holderness, Gail Rounds Hallen and Beth Allen. Drop me a line. Debbie
