after 22 years of marriage and re- married in 1993 to John Malaspino, an
Italian from Cape Cod, MA. John is a Master Cabinetmaker and specializes in
creating custom designed furniture. He has 5 children and 6 grand- children.

years ago and am a member of Little Flower Parish on Indy's East Side. We
recently finished the last details on a MAJOR remodel of our 1925 home in
Indianapolis. In October 2004 I joined the staff at
Community
Hospital East in Indianapolis on the
Renal/Oncology unit. I am a Certified Clinical Research Coordinator also. I
hold a Certificate in Advanced Energy Healing from IUPUI and practice Reiki
and
Massage Therapy. Over the years I have
participated in various activities, from singing with an ecumenical
liturgical band (traveling
in an old blue Volkswagen bus no less!), to participating in
community theater, and painting and
teaching art and calligraphy classes.
Currently spend my free time reading, gardening and taking photos of
anything that holds still for me. Looking forward to more free time and
going
fishing!
