From Ellen:
It has been fun to read what everyone has been doing for 40 years. I haven't spent any time in Darien since my parents moved to Cape Cod in 1983. I keep in touch with my pal Paddies (Johnson) Austin but would love to hear from other DHS friends.
In 1971 I married my college sweetheart. After 10 years we separated and divorced. In 1985 I married my soulmate Jim. We each had two children from our previous marriages, all quite close in age. They are now grown adults and we are experiencing the excitement of grandparenthood. My son, Ben, 31, and his wife are expecting their first child next month. They live in Portland, OR so we will be travelling to see the baby the moment it is born. My stepdaughter, Gabe, 32, had her first child, in July. My stepson, Jeff, 29, is getting married on the Cape next month (hopefully before our trip to Oregon). My daughter Amy, 25, is single and lives and works in Boston. We are fortunate to have three out of four children living close by.
Jim and I both still work fulltime. I have taught at a local preschool for 19 years and have served as its director for seven years. Jim is a licensed mental health counselor at an agency in Hyannis and is working to develop his own practice as well. Our lives are rich, happy and busy. We love living on Cape Cod surrounded by the beautiful ocean. We enjoy going over the bridge to Boston but are happiest on this little piece of land sticking out into the Atlantic.
