Chris Baas Kowalski
I left the Zone in 1968 attended Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School in NYC. After a short stint in Florida I moved to Luxembourg, where I worked for 7 months before returning to New York to work with Booz-Allen. I met my husband, Steve, when I joined Chesebrough-Ponds a few years earlier.

We were married in 1973 and Steve's job took us to Melbourne, Australia, where our son, Brian, was born. We were blessed next with Maribeth, a beautiful Downs Syndrome daughter and, in 1984, with Katie, who is now a Junior at James Madison University in Virginia.

Brian is a broker for AXA in Charlotte, NC.

I've been fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom, allowing me time and effort for Maribeth and for the many friends I have made in various homes.

We live in New Jersey and Steve runs the Snow's/Doxsee's plant in Cape May. We hope to retire next year and move South, possibly somewhere along the Carolina shores.
