Toni came up from Florida to visit her mother in Cromwell and we got together for more catching up than we can do in email.

Toni moved down to Florida from Minnesota a week before the hurricanes started in 2005.

She taught english last year and will be teaching reading in a middle school this year.

She has two daughters. Jenny is 26, married with one child and lives in Colorado, Katie is 25 and lives in Minnesota.
