NOTE: I AM STILL LIVING....(well, at least as I type this)
Anne was born in Syracuse NY where her father and his father were also born. The family moved to Florida a couple years later, before resettling in the Washington DC area in 1966 where Anne attended school, graduating from Rollingwood Elementary (now closed), Leland Junior High (now closed) and Bethesda Chevy-Chase High School. While in Junior High School, she spent her Sunday's helping to restore an antique airplane for the Smithsonian at their Silver Hill restoration facility with her father, and a group of teenagers from the Washington inner city. She graduated from Purdue University in 3 1/2 years with a BS in Electrical Engineering and began working as an engineer for IBM in December 1981. While she never left the company, it was sold four times, from IBM to Loral to Lockheed Martin and finally (as of this typing) to BAE Systems, from which she retired in November 2015. Beginning around the year 2000, her company agreed that rather than have transfer to another company in New York, they would let her work from the family cottage on Lake Ontario from May through October each year. The cottage, which has been in the family since 1932, has been an oasis for her, with the sounds of the waves and the various creatures of the area helping her maintain her sanity while still productively navigating the world of Aerospace engineering and government contracts. It was at the lake that Anne was adopted by a feral cat, who decided to have kittens in the wheel barrow in her garage. That cat, who soon disclosed that her name was Luna, had decided to give up the wild life for the pampered life of a companion and she and one of her kittens (the runt of the litter, now a 17 pound fur-ball named Gussie) have been Anne's constant companions ever since. In the mid 1990's, the genealogy bug struck, and Anne began tracing her family roots in upstate NY and rapidly started to focus on researching the descendants of her ancestors in St. Lawrence county. That endeavor morphed into a love of old cemeteries, and in 1999, Anne started doing full photographic inventories of the cemeteries in St. Lawrence county and placing the information on a website she established. In 2008, she became a volunteer for Find-a-grave, and began copying her cemetery records and photos over to that site, while also fulfilling requests from people around the world for photos within a 200 mile radius of her NY cottage. In the winters, she took her camera and did the same fulfilling of requests in Arlington National Cemetery, as well as photographing entire sections there and putting those photos online.
