After a year of college at Fairleigh Dickinson  University, Lou worked for Bendix, with name changes finally became Honeywell International.  His position required him to work on the Saturn Missile, F16, and F15 projects.  He retired after 43 years there.
The highlight of his life was taking his family on a beautiful 6 week tour of the USA.  He feels his achievements include providing for his family, and watching his wife and children receive degrees in their chosen fields.
Lou's unforgettable moments were the deaths of 2 of his sons.  Our hearts go out to you , Lou.

My work history includes 9 years at New Jersey Bell and after time off for child rearing, I got a part time job with a lumber company.  That lasted another 10 years.  Now I help my daughter and son-in-law by taking care of their girls during the week, as both parents have full time jobs.  I've been doing this since the girls were 6 weeks old and I've loved every minute of it.   Now that both girls are in school all day it's really easy; put them on the bus and pick them up in the afternoon.
How have I changed since high school?  Well, I'm not as shy as I was back then.  I'm more outgoing and talkative and volunteer for things I would never have done back in our school years. Also, if you recall, I was 5'9" and weighed 98 pounds.  That's changed too!  HaHa     I've gained a few pounds and lost an inch due to back problems.
My interests and hobbies are crocheting, reading and taking care of our various and sundry pets; dogs, cats, bunnies and fish aquarium.   As for special achievements, I won several blue ribbons at the Ocean County Fair for my crocheting and one won Employee of the Month at the lumber company I worked for.  Other than those, I've done nothing to be famous for .. just enjoy being  a Housewife, Mom and Grandma.  Come to think of it, that's enough of an achievement in itself.
My most embarrassing moment has to be on our honeymoon when I accidentally locked myself in the bathroom.  After an hour of yanking and pulling at the door, my husband was about to call the Manager of the motel.  I wouldn't hear of it as I was mortified enough, to say nothing of the fact that I was also in my bridal negligee.  Eventually the door gave way and I was rescued by my husband.  We laugh about it now, but trust me, at the time it was anything but funny.
