Katchats: My Musical Journey Part 2
In 1978, I relocated to Southern California, but by 1989 my first husband and I separated then divorced. After a trip back to New Jersey to attend a childhood friend's wedding, I made the decision to stay in New Jersey to raise my 6 year old daughter and my one and 1/2 year old son. There was something special about raising my children where I grew up and surrounding them with my parents and family. After four years in New Jersey, I reacquainted with a school friend, who had always had a crush on me. We were married in 1993. Finally I was back home!

My mom was the type person who would call into local radio station DJ's and she'd win trips to NYC Dinner Shows and even to Las Vegas. She won a lot by staying tuned in.
