Hi everyone
This is denise Thompson new to the list. Thanks Marcia for getting me
connected. I'm class of 70. I'm back in MI living in Hastings about 25 miles
from grand rapids after 34 years in phoenix Arizona. I came bak two years
ago. I decided it was time to come home and get reintegraded into my family.
I love phoenix and it was a difficult decision, but it was time to come
back. My family has been great since I've been back and it's nice to go to
great nieces and nephews graduation parties and marriages and reunions, etc.
the weather? Well we won't discuss that, but I will say it's been nice that
the two winters I've been back haven't been that bad so for that I'm
greatful. Smile
I went to phoenix originally to seek my fortune like pioneers before me. I
did find work, but I'm still looking for that fortune thing. Lol
I spent many years working at the local independent center which became and
still is one of the largest in the country. For 10 years I was the state of
arizona's ADA/5o4 coordinator. I took early retirement in 2005 to escape all
the beurocratic nonsense and then worked for myself as a disability civil
rights consultant until I came back to MI in april 2015.
I keep busy now managing TLF, (the listen factor) which is a group of
internet radio stations that air tv shows. No video just the sound tracks.
We air oldies- shows from the 50's, 60's, 70's, etc. a few current shows as
well both those that have audio description and those that don't. it keeps
me pretty busy, but I also love to read, mostly romantic suspense and other
action thriller types.
Most evenings I get together with a group of on-line friends and we play
games on a site called blind adrenaline where we play euchre, spades, texas
holdem, draw and yaht.
At the moment my household family consists of penny my retired dog guide,
daisy my jack russel mix and crystal my miniature dachsund.
So that's me in a nut shell. Probably more info than you ever wanted to
know. Lol
Denise
