For the next six years I developed my practice in South Portland, enjoyed a very satisfying and
rewarding dental practice and thought I would stay there until I retired. Fate led us to Dover-Foxcroft
and to people who value the importance of family and a unique quality of life.
We have four children, Hillary, Heather, Jeff and Chris who continue to provide our greatest joy
in their growth and love. We also have one son-in-law, Joe Caruso, who married Hillary in 2000.
