About Me
I’m married with three sons. Before I retired, I was a tax preparer for 14 years. Before that, I worked in computers. My eye-gaze computer is my lifeline. I chat, email, do the NY Times crossword puzzle, play chess, etc. It also allows me to control the TV and DVD player. My husband retired as a doctor to take care of me. My family support is unbelievably terrific.
