Meeting My Husband
I met Gary in October 1969, he and Alan picked my sister, Toni and I up hitchhiking. I did not see him again until the end of March when Gary and Alan came to our Spring Fling at Saint Joseph's College. We danced and played pool the whole evening. We went out for a couple of weeks, got engaged and were married May 25, 1970. We were told it wouldn't last, we hadn't known each other long enough. I guess we both knew we had found our "soul mates" because we are still happily married. My first love for hobbies is riding my 1998 Harley Davidson Dyna Low Rider. I have been motorcycling since I won a 1991 HD 1200 Sportster on August 4, 1991. Gary and I kept the Sportster for a year and then traded it in for a 1993 Dyna Low Rider, which we both drove. Last March, Gary got a 1998 HD Ultra Classic and I got my new Dyna. We have taken many motorcycling trips including 2 trips to Milwaukee, one in 1993 and one in 1998 for the 90th and 95th Harley Davidson Anniversaries. Some of our trips include in 1994, Florida, Skyline Drive, Blue Ridge Mountains; Delaware Valley and Richmond, VA in 1995 for HOG Annual Rally. Last summer we also drove to Harleysville, PA to visit friends. In that one weekend, we traveled over 1300 miles. We usually make 3-4 trips per year on the bike back to my hometown, Van Buren, Maine. We belong to the following Harley Owners Group (HOG) chapters:

The Dealer Ride is leaving the Caribou dealer and stopping at all Maine dealers on the way to the Maine State Rally, which is being held in Old Orchard Beach. Other hobbies include Skiing, playing pool, and camping. Gary and I have one daughter, Toni. She was born on May 24, 1971 and weighed 4 lbs. 1 oz. She has just started her own accounting and tax preparation company, which she runs out of her home. Toni has given us 2 fantastic grandchildren; Zach and Denali. Zach was born on November 20, 1996. He is very smart, mechanically gifted even at this young age and very athletic. Denali was born on October 29, 1998. She is a very alert and strong baby. We can already see her personality developing; she has a mind of her own. I started working at Muskie School of Public Service in September of 1993. I was employed as a Record Technician I on the Case Mix Project. The Case Mix project is a data collection project for the State of Maine, Bureau of Medical Services. It entails the data management of MDS (Nursing Homes) and RCA (Residential Care Facilities) assessments. This data is used to set payment rates to the homes and assure quality care to the residents.
