At 15 there was a job opening for a man and she apparently dressed like a boy and applied and got the job and so that is how it began. The story opened when the character is older though. It was not your typical hollywood plot.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-72088263146831587932012-05-20T09:30:21.133-05:002012-05-20T09:30:21.133-05:00when I knew you Carol, you liked doing what needed...when I knew you Carol, you liked doing what needed to be done.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-28549279158020655092012-05-20T07:05:55.590-05:002012-05-20T07:05:55.590-05:00Having the right tools to do the job has been what...Having the right tools to do the job has been what has made all my work so much fun.

We love that beach. It is not crowded and just a great place to spend some time. We found a place right on the beach where all the rooms look out onto the ocean. They are 2 room condos. We went to Univ of NC, Chapel Hill in early 1990's for a 10 day research intensive. John went with me. We drove there. After the intensive, we wanted to go to a beach and spend some time, so we asked around and several people recommended Wrightsville Beach. We don't have any relatives there.
