What's so funny??
Jeanette is our second oldest daughter (Michele is the oldest). She is a Project Manager for a large financial firm and organizes and manages information technology projects including bringing in new technology and transitioning applications between sites in Los Angeles and Dallas, Texas.
How old is she? We will not tell but we will provide a few hints... Look in the right hand column! Sue and I remember these events quite well and it is amazing to look back and see they were the same year as Jeanette was born.
