I believe this was taken about 2003, at a Wendy’s, where I was with a Chess Club;
I couldn’t play very well, so I took up piano, instead :=)
About 2008 ---
2011 (September) -- at our annual fund-raising luncheon last month for my job…. me and my (very short) boss.
And, taken for the church directory in January 2017 --- [ Editor's comment: LOVELY !! ]
PROFILE:
After graduating Midland Park High in 1961, Lisa moved away from the northeast NJ area, and found her way down to North Carolina. Given Lisa's email address, it can be presumed that she liked to kayak; and from the pictures above, that she lived in a condo in the Charlotte, NC, area; that she enjoyed playing chess, and also the piano; and that -- in one of her last employment situations -- she was supervised by a vertically-challenged person who was her boss. :=)
Here is a brief summary of her obituary:
