Neighbor #1:
One of my favorite memories is of when my sister and I fashioned two chairs from the snow and played king and queen on them until the snow froze and we used then as slides! I have a BA in Latin and English from the University of Michigan, and a MA in Latin from Wayne State University. I also have a gifted endorsement from Sarasota. I am a retired teacher. I worked in elementary grades for 12 years and high school for 19 years. I am presently in my 15th year of tutoring for Sylvan Learning Centers. I grew up with an older brother, and a younger sister. He became a radiologist and she is a Bridge Master. I also have a daughter. My husband is an avid golfer and Bridge player. I love to walk, play tennis, read and do jigsaw puzzles. I am very anxious to revisit Rome or event live there!
Neighbor #2:
I was born in Chicago, the fourth of six children in a Czech family. My father worked in the steel industry and the Czechs looked out for one another. He saw to it that a young son of a fellow worker got an education. So when I came along, he in this chit. I bagan at Crane Jr. College, progressed to Armco Technical which became Illinois Institute of Technology, for an education in engineering. Asked what my aim was, I replied to my interviewer, "I want your job." I worked at different section of the company and was asked to go to Scotland to right a failing department of the company. I spent several years there getting it in good position before returning home. I had experience in all facets of the business, so I fullfilled my initial wish and became head of the firm. Later in life, my wife and I retired and came to Florida because our son lived here.
