In this issue, spotlight gets two for the price of one. After years of good education, good fun, and good friends, Lucille and I went our separate ways. At least until I realized I left someone very important behind. When the light bulb went on, I began dating Lucille and shortly afterwards we became engaged and then married on July 24, 1954. We are blessed with one daughter, four sons and eleven grandchildren ranging in age from 5 to 25 years of age. Luckily they all live in New Jersey and we see them regularly.
In 1953 I joined Ford Motor Company . Lucille took the much harder job of raising five children. Our children are close in age and thankfully close as a family. As the children got older I advanced in my job, and traveled extensively in Latin, Central and South America. My travels also took me to parts of Canada as well. In later years, I was able to bring Lucille with me and combine business and pleasure.
After living and working in Michigan for seven years I retired in 1990 after a 38-year career with Ford Motor Company. It was a great place to work and provided well for us all. We're now back in New Jersey where it all started and are enjoying retirement very much. An added bonus at this time of our lives is the renewal of some great old friendships from Saint Michael's. May our luncheons continue for years to come and may our attendance increase.
