About Me

I'm Mary Jane. I'm a secretary for an attorney who runs a title company. One of my sons is an attorney!! I used to work for an insurance company. Both professions give me "pause". My hobbies are listening to my daughter sing at her gigs because she is an outstanding singer, enjoying Fred Krug playing his guitar and singing(he's absolutely incredible); attending her soccer games and softball games, watching her soccer, basketball and lacrosse teams that she coaches at Westover School; watching my son race his late model race car at Stafford Springs, he's an excellent driver - taking a break in order to prepare for the twins that are arriving in a few months - visits from my Arizona son, an Attorney at the Department of Defense at the Pentagon,and the grandchildren; walks in the woods, reading, watching New York Giant games, UCONN Women's Basketball and going to the Theatre with friends. I'm a Notary Public and a retired Justice of the Peace.

Larry Bird, Jim Carrey, Tom Selleck, Jeff Bridges, Gene Hackman, Mark Harmon, Gary Sinise, Chris O'Donnell, Sarah Palin and Kevin Kostner.
