Born and raised in Lynn, Ma. Moved to Alfred , ME in 1976 then back to Amherst, MA in 1984 only to again return to Maine in 1988. Maine keeps calling me "home".

spent all my childhood summers on the Hudson!

my hubby was born in Smith Falls!!

I was born in Washington State, in 1966 moved to Minn, moved back to Wa.in 82, and to Oregon in 92. LOVE the great north west.

I grew up in the Bronx, NY, married DH in 69, moved to Staten Island, NY in 74, bought our house and raised our 2 kids there. After 33 years on Staten Island, we retired to Casa Grande, Az. Love small town living -- we're right in the middle between Phoenix and Tucson.

Here to stay till they carry us out. Just miss DD and hubby and the rest of the family back home in NY. (sniff)

Born in Denver CO, moved to Salina Ks at age 6, graduated from Old Salina High in 1951, married my best school chum, he joined the Army after graduation, we traveled all over the world, raised 3 kids, retired on Guam and after 14 years on Guam we moved to TX, I retired from AAFES in 2000 and live in Oak Point TX now.

We lived on Staten Island for 33 years. It was always a toll to leave the Island, and after a while, the tolls choke you. If they fixed the roads, you wouldn't mind, but NY is pothole city.

Between tolls and $3.89/gallon gas, I have to say I'm glad to have moved away. No tolls and $3.20 gas in Casa Grande, Az.

what does AAFES mean?? so many acronyms nowadays

I clicked to no longer watch by mistake; needed to write something to get it back

It stands for Army Air Force Exchange Services. The world wide headquarters is in Dallas. They keep the exchanges full wherever there is a need for a store and do a great service to our men overseas.
