In my much younger days, I was a professional dancer and traveled extensively throughout Europe with a dance company from age 19 to 21, and met so many incredibly interesting people. I was in restaurant management for several years but at the age of 34 1/2, I decided I needed an adventure, so I enlisted in the U.S. Navy! I was among the first 50 enlisted women to serve aboard a Navy ship. I was A Radioman, which was exciting all by itself, and I was presented with the Navy Achievement Medal.
