Young at Heart

  I love to make connections with people who are enjoying the "Golden Years."  I am from NY and am a retired teacher since 2004.  I speak Italian, some Spanish, and of course English.  It amazes me each time I hear a voice on the other end of the phone saying, "Press 1 if you want English."  Isn't it normal to speak English in the US?  Yes, I'm aware that our Country doesn't have an official language.  When I lived in Italy for a year, I  wanted to speak Italian. Oh, well, what do I know?

  I am a mother of two single children.  My husband was "made in Italy."  My parents were Italian-Americans. It seems I've taught every grade in the NY school system and my last experience was teaching ESL to adults in BOCES.  What a rewarding career!  Retired life is relaxing but I want and need to continue to use my education and skills.  Looking forward to the next goal.
