Born and raised in York, Pennsylvania, I have 4 siblings, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, Mark, Audrey, Stella, and Tony. Lived in Pennsylvania most of my life until 1997 when I moved to Summerville, South Carolina, where my younger sister Stella lived. While living there, I avidly volunteered for 7 years at my son's schools... PTA, School Improvement Council, After School Program, Room "MOM", the whole bit! I enjoyed it very much, but then, I love kids! I Had the awesome opportunity and pleasure of volunteering at the Warren Lasch Conservation Lab, where the confederate Submarine the H. L. Hunley is undergoing restoration and preservation, this was an experience I will never soon forget, being a huge fan of American History, especially the Civil War era. I met and was befriended by many wonderful, warm and brilliant people, to actually work with the Archeologists, hands on, touch the sub, a time capsule in itself, hold the solid gold coin that Queenie Bennett gave her love, Lt. George Dixon, assisted in the full 'time period era' military funeral of the final 8 men crew, was also involved and a member of the annual Hunley Ghost Walk, loved dressing up in "period" clothing! It was truly an amazing adventure! I have many souvenirs, photos, and fond memories! August of 2005, I came back to my home state of Pennsylvania, I miss the many friends I made and left behind in South Carolina, however, thankfully, most still keep in touch, and I know, the 'pineapple' is always out, and I am always welcome. =) I found the people of South Carolina to be warm, friendly, full of 'old world' class, and rich in charm and Southern hospitality. I am a very genuine, down to earth, happy, outgoing, affectionate person. I will be a friend for life. When I love it is passionately, loyally, and 150% or not at all, there is no "gray" area with me. I love to meet people of all ages and cultures. I'm always open to learning, and experiencing new things. I can be stubborn and I will stand fast and stay the course for whom/what I love and believe in, and will not 'give up' unless I have no other choice, and I'm absolutely forced to do so. We must have dreams, its what life is made of! I dislike and will NOT tolerate people that gain pleasure from the mistreatment/disrespect of other human beings or animals. I have a slight temper, well, maybe more than slight (I'm a redhead and half Irish) that can get me into trouble sometimes, but I can also say I'm sorry when I'm wrong. My SON, Barry Jr, is my greatest treasure, he means the world to me! I enjoy all types of Music, The Arts, Dancing, Reading, The Mountains, The Beach, Amusement Parks, Watching A Good/Favorite Movie, Cuddling and spending uninterrupted, undivided attention with the one I love, Sprint Car Racing, Formula One Racing, Football ~College ~ Penn State Nittany Lions, ~ NFL ~ Pittsburg Steelers! =)I always try to stay closely in touch with Family and Friends, I love them all dearly! If you want to know anything else, just ask me, I'm an open book, and I would love to chat with you!
