Hello Everyone,
This is a photo of me from Memorial Day Weekend 2000.
I went to New York for vacation. This is the first time I have been to NY since we moved away in 1964.

My hobbies include Photography and the Computer.

You can also find some photos of some cakes that I have made at my web site.

I also volunteer whenever I get the chance for CenterOne.
CenterOne is South Florida's oldest and largest AIDS agency.

This photo is also from May 2000.

I moved to Florida about 12 years ago and found that I liked it enough to stay. Susie Adams and Bob Baxter used to take me out with them on their dates. They made me feel real comfortable. They showed me all around the Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood area and even a bit of Miami.

I got a job a week after I decided to stay in Florida, at Security Screens. They make Window Screens that connect up to your alarm system so that you can leave your windows open and still set your alarm. I stayed with the company for about 11 years. I started out in production but moved over to the position of driver and then warehouse manager.
I then moved over to the company that was right next door to Security Screens.
At Flagship Games International, I was the warehouse manager and the delivery driver. FGI caters to the cruise ship industry by providing gaming items.

I am currently in school for Commercial Art.

I bought a house in February, 1992 and the following August, Hurricane Andrew blew by. I suffered no damage but I wound up with a puppy, who I named Nick

I have a Puerto Rican family that sort-of adopted me shortly after I moved to Florida. I spend all of my holidays with them.

For those of you who may not know, I am Mary Ann and Robert Burke's fifth child, born in 1963, in Brooklyn New York. A short time later, after the death of my Father, my mother moved our family to Opa Locka, Florida to be near her family. At that time, Mary Ann had six children
I started School in Florida but by the time I went into the second grade, Mom had married Grady Tollison and he moved his new family to Anderson, South Carolina, where he was raised.
At the time of their marrige, Grady had three daughters of his own. Grady and Mary Ann had one more child in 1968 for a total of ten children between them.
I stayed in Anderson until after I graduated from High School. I then spent a year in Newport News, Virginia, where my three oldest sisters lived. I then moved back to Anderson for a few years until I moved to Florida.
