Remarks: There are an unusually high number of natural disasters that occur this year. Engineering feats continue to astound many.

1999

By the end of 1998, spouse had obtained another job that was not within his industry of experience. This job required relocation to New York which suited our needs but the work hours were long, about sixteen hours a day including the commute to a nearby city. Spouse worked at this job for several months before procuring another job within his industry of experience. In November, I interviewed and was hired for a job in the travel industry working on a part time basis for five and one half hours daily.

Spouse, daughter, son, and I temporarily moved into mother and father’s home until the house in Florida was sold in April. At the end of March, knowing the sale of our home in Florida was probably secured through a contract, the tenants renting our New York home were given two months notice to vacate the premises. By the end of May, arrangements were made to move the
