After graduation I  went  to  work  for  the  telephone  company  here  in York  at  the  local  office  in  the  Realty  Building.  After  working  there for  approx.  15  years   York  went  dial  and  I  transferred  to  Portsmouth.

That  office  stayed  open  for  another  15  years  after  which  I  transferred  to Dover,  NH.    That  was  an  entirely  different  method  of  operating. It  was  the  computer  era.    I  learned  that  system  and  eventually  became  a  teacher  and  service assistant.

Retired  in  1986.  My  personal  life  involved  marriage  to  my  husband  Arthur  in  1950  and the  birth  of  our  son  Stephen  in  1957.    Steve  married  in  1982  and  now  we  have two  grandchildren, Jed and Amber 14 and 11  years  old  respectively. In  April  of  1996  I  applied  for  and  gained employment  as  a  part-time  secretary at  the  York  Senior  Center.    I  enjoy  my  work  very  much  and  love  working  with  all the  Seniors.    I  am  a  very  happy  and  active  person.    I  also  am  one  of  the volunteers  that  run  the  cameras  for  Cable  TV  at  the  many  meetings  in  town  such as  Selectmen,  School  Budget,  etc.    I've  had  to  stop  my  volunteering  at  the  Coastal  Ridge  School  working  with  Debbie  Palmer's  class  because  of  my work  schedule  and  I  feel  very  sad  about  that.

Enough  for  now.    Hope  this isn't  too  boring

Upon graduating in 1947, I went to work doing bookkeeping at Perkins Motor Sales, now known as Starkey Ford. I worked there a few years & moved to St. Petersburg, Fla. to live with friends of my parents.

I met my first husband there while I was working at a Finance Co. We had one son, and moved to New Bedford , Mass. We worked there a few years and I had my second son. We then moved back to St. Petersburg , Fla. where I again worked for a Finance Co. We had a daughter at this time. After a few years I got a divorce and moved to Tulsa , Oklahoma with the kids and my mother. I met and married my second husband and got 3 wonderful step-children, altho one has since died.

Moving around has brought some wonderful memories and friends that I keep in touch with. We moved to Bella Vista , Ark. where my husband died 17 years ago. I worked for a maintenance co. for 10 years.

After my husband died, I sold my house and moved to Branson , Missouri . a wonderful place to live. Especially Silver Dollar City . It is a great place to take the family, very safe place for children. One way in and the same way out. Very protected and you can turn the kids loose and let them enjoy. I worked for a theater for 2 years and when it was sold I was out of work for a short time. I then moved to Mesa , Arizone to be with my children. I have 5 children, 9 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren.

I love being retired. I have worked every year since graduating. A lot of jobs along the way, too many to mention. Been a wonderful time, been places I have only dreamed about, we even got to see the swallows come back to Capistrano, it was fantastic! But there is no place like home.

I now am having problems with my knees, aggravated by having a head-on collision, seat belts saved my life. The first accident I ever had all those years of driving, and it wasn't even my fault. I only have to be in a wheelchair when I have to be moving around for a long time, such as shopping. I decided not to have knee surgery as I feel the less you mess with your bones, the better off you are.

I would love to get back to York to live. My step-daughter & her family come to York Beach each year as they store a motor home there. She has always loved York .

I live in the valley here in Mesa , gets to be 112/115 in the summer. Don't know how the Indians ever lived as long as they did. It is cooler when you get up into the mountains in Flagstaff . My oldest son lives with me, he is a plumber but into computers, so keeps my in condition and up and running. I do a lot of emails and keep in touch with Elena Fiske. There is not much I can do but emails, tv and read 25 books every two weeks.

Enough boring stories. When I win the lottery I will be back in York in a hurry. In the meantime, regards to all. Have a great life.  Connie
