In 1980 - Nancy and I spent a year in Winter Park, Florida. One of our best friends was Bonnie. At the time she had two small kids that were playmates with Keith and Drew. While Nancy spent her days in the classroom at University of Central Florida - it was my job to stay at home with my sons. Bonnie was a big help during that time. We would often take turns watching the kids at the pool and playground.
That was 28 years ago when we met Bonnie. Back then she was a nurse - and for a time was the sole provider for her family.
Bonnie later moved back to Upstate New York and raised a family of three beautiful kids. She later returned to Orlando along with her Mom and Dad - and several brothers and sisters. Her Mom and Dad - Marilyn and Ike Premo - still live in Central Florida.
Bonnie married John Orlando - they bought a beautiful beach house in Ormond Beach - right by Daytona Beach. For her birthday last month - Bonnie got a brand new white Miata. Now she has a graduation tassel to hang from the rear view mirror.
Yesterday - Bonnie was awarded her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. She finished with a 3.89 GPA. What an excellent example for her kids. We are never too old to learn.
