Mary Ellen Whittlesey (Turk)

    We're now bi-coastal with beach  homes in both  the Seal Beach area of Southern California and the  Hawaiian Island of Kauai.  Life is good

FAMILY:
    Married to Bill Turk of southern California--between
us we have TEN grandchildren.  I have two daughters,
Mary and Kirsten,  Bill has two sons

EDUCATION AND CAREER:
    Did my graduate work in psychology at Cal Sate LA.  Worked for the Mental Health Assn, of Southern
Calif.  Then became a Real Estate broker with my own office.  Since I love houses and decorating and fixing things up--this was almost like not working for me. 
    I eventually acquired several properties which are
now vacation rentals. see www.surfsideprop.com
   
AVOCATIONS:
    Am passionate about gardening--that's why we live
most of the time on Kauai.  Have a yard with
waterfalls and koi ponds and lots of orchids.  Bill
is crazy about drag racing--has a red Vega from our
era and is president of the Garden Island Racing
Association. 


    Mary Ellen writes:  "Also--for those interested, here is 'our' beach--closest to where we live and where Bill and I were married barefoot-style 6 years ago."
