Summary
I retired in 1997 to take care of my husband. He seemed to do better, then I went to Mercer County and taught two years. I left Mercer County because my husband went on dialysis. He passed in 2021. I would like to go back to work if possible. I was checking to see if you by chance have any openings for employment. I would like to apply.
