WOW, this is cool! I just learned of this site, and am amazed at how many are still in the area or surrounding vicinities. I am happily married to a WONDERFUL man, but it took me 3 tries! He works for Port Authority and has a digging, concrete and construction business, too. I am an RN and have been at Mercy Hospital for 12 years (soon to be "UPMC Mercy"). Prior to Mercy, I worked as a nurse at the "big house" (Western Penitentiary) if you can believe that... what an experience! I have lived in Bethel Park for about 14 years and unfortunately, don't get to the "Good Ole Mon Valley" too often. We have been busy remodeling an old house which is fun, but time consuming and messy! I have a beautiful 24 year old daughter, who works for Citizen's Bank and is engaged to be married. We have a very close relationship and thankfully she lives near us. I am still very down-to earth, enjoy the simple things and appreciate my great life! I would love to hear from you; please don't hesitate to drop me a line. Thank you to Jeane Palfrey, for this site and this opportunity to get back in touch. (1/07/07)
