What is the best memory you have from childhood?
My family liked to camp, first in a tent and later in a travel trailer. We enjoyed some great vacations around the country and many long weekends in Gettysburg with relatives. Fun times!

What did you want to be when you grew up?
I waffled back and forth between wanting to be a nurse or a teacher, and I always wanted to be a mom.

What is your fondest memory from elementary school (grades K-8)? I loved walking to piano lessons with a group of friends after school once a week because normally I had to ride the bus to and from school.

Where was the best vacation spot you remember going to as a kid?
When I was a pre-teen, our family went to Disney World. And I believe there is still a photo of me dancing with Mickey Mouse ears on in the family photo album.

What or who was on your lunchbox?
I had a pink Barbie lunchbox.

What did you do on a hot summer day?
My sister and I went to the Boiling Springs Pool to meet our friends.

What was your most special holiday tradition as a child? Did you carry that on with your family?
We always went to my grandparents’ house for lunch at Thanksgiving. Then, the grandkids (there were lots of us) would always go outside to play football or trek over to the pond and meadow across the road to explore. Fortunately, my kids are also very close to their grandparents and enjoy getting together with their cousins as well.

What was the first thing you remember buying with money from “your own paycheck”?
I bought a stereo system with a record player 8 track player and speakers. I thought it was totally cool.

What did you have as a kid that you wish you had today?
I wish I still had my grandparents. There are so many things that I would love to ask and learn from them.

What poster did you have on your bedroom wall?
Wow, it was a poster of David Cassidy because I loved watching him in the Partridge Family.

What was the best advice your parents ever gave you?
Work hard, always do the best you can, and finish college.

What are you most proud of?
Without a doubt, I am most proud of my children Carrie, Patrick and Andrew. They each have their own uniqueness, combined with strong sense of family loyalty and traditions.
