Jennifer Riley Chiappetta

Jeffrey is 21, Riley is 16, Max is 16, Tessa is 14 and Jake is 13. Riley and Tessa are sisters and Jeffrey, Max, and Jake are brothers.

Tessa is our only redhead. Her sister, Riley, says she has an "attitude". Redheads sometimes do. When I asked if I have an attitude, she said, "You probably did but it was trained out of you!" Bill then told her that he's still trying to train me, but it hasn't worked yet! (When/if it works, just bury me. I won't be any fun any more.)

These days I spend my time oil painting, decorative painting, reading, target shooting, and going to doctors. I love doing all of it except the last one.

I loved being in the marching band and orchestra. The orchestra met before school in the mornings. I remember racing to school with Joy Williams trying to get there without being late. Sometimes we made it in time and sometimes we didn't. When we didn't make it, we did our best to sneak in when Mr. Burt wasn't looking!

Bill and I retired from teaching high school and moved to North Carolina, just north of Myrtle Beach. I am a cancer survivor. Life is good!
