Came west to seek fortune and fame after graduating from SUNY in 1975. Was headed to California and wanted to stop in Colorado to see what John Denver was singing about. (That was when John Denver was cool). Got here and ran out of money. Lived here for 3 years before having temporary insanity and moved to Syracuse. After realizing the error of my ways, I relocated back in 1979 and lived there 40 years until my return to the East in 2020. Found great little Florida island and if I never see snow again, I’m ok with that. Now life feels like permanent vacation….
Had a number of various jobs in and out of my educated field (yea, secretarial science and fashion merchandising weren't nearly as fun as bartending) but finally got into real estate in 1983. Owned a firm for about 15 years and then sold out just in time. Took job as a managing broker after becoming an empty nestor in September as I had WAAAAAYYYYY too much alone time.
Loved it, but moving to small island town with realtor on every corner, decided it was time to close shop. Now life is golf, pickleball and beach walks. Not too shabby!
