About Me	Raised in Cuba Ala. left my Jr yr in high school (Sumter County High) to spend first 1/2 Sr yr at Meridian, Miss High then to Auburn High School in the am and Auburn University in the pm of my Sr yr. After that I enrolled at Auburn full time until Eddie Allen (husband at that time) joined the Air Force and we headed to Phoenix, Arizona. I have been a Real Estate Broker for 25 years and worked mainly in land development. Have been the Property Manager for the development of "Estate Lots" in the northwest Tucson after relocating there after Eddie went abroad.

The corporation I worked for bought 6,000 acres at "The Point" just outside Salt Lake City in the Wasach Mountain Range to build another resort similiar to the one in Tucson (Ventana Canyon Resort).

The company never completed the project because of financial downturns but my husband and I were so fortunate to meet several aldermen and the head of the Utah Travel Council all of which sat on the board of a private adoption agency. About the time we found that we could not have children these gentlemen stepped up to help us get our Jessica through the agency they worked with. It was a miracle in our life. The work was wonderful and enriched my life in so many ways; but none like bringing home the little 7 + pound baby girl in l988. I am sure none of you wanted to know this much about me but I guess I am just in a sharing mood tonight. I miss the work so much but raising Jessica has been the high point of our lives. NOW....empty nest syndrome and bored out of my gourd. Volunteer work is fulfilling but only to a point. Anyone want to build a resort? golf course? develop land? Just in case I am your girl...... that i...(read more)
