Investor from New Hampshire and Chicago
Hello--I have been here for about 4 years-upper valley NH, ever since we relocated from Chicago to here. Long story short, my husband worked at Dartmouth, 20 years ago--and I swore to never come back...there were no or very very little hair care products for African Americans in Hanover/Lebanon back then...Anyway, I earned my doctorate in psychology, became a licensed clinical psychologist and yearned for wide open spaces and a place to do my art--I now work for a distance learning institution (work from home) and my husband is back working at Dartmouth. The moral of the story, never say never.....sometimes you have to follow the yellow brick road and when there isn't one you just lay the bricks yourself and keep on stepping. Looking forward to meeting all of you, now that we are more settled and looking to expand our real estate holdings. Peace, Brian
