Laurie Dereski Gallo

After graduation I went to live in Albany to work for Bankers Trust in downtown. I also attended Hudson Valley Community College at night to study computer language. At Bankers Trust I started as a loan secretary and soon made my way to a position as assistant Operations Manager where I reorganized and restructure over 300 banks. It was the beginning of downsizing and getting rid of the excess. This position requires a BA but I talked my way in and they gave me a chance. I left New York in 1980 and travelled south knowing eventually I would make it to my destination that was to be California. I ended up in Dallas, Texas in 81' and stayed there for awhile working for the United States Chamber of Commerce Southwest Region. Then I finally got the job that would bring me to California. I was the only woman on this team of various engineers. We had just won a huge proposal to build and install MDTs for the Los Angeles sheriff's dept. I was in charge of doing site survey's to install microwave towers throughout southern CA. I met my ex husband and had 2 kids. I was fortunate to be a stay at home mom but did alot of volunteering. Years pass and I'm still here now working for a chiropractor for the past 15 years. I love to travel throughout Europe and Asia and will soon be travelling to south America this winter 2020. I have a son named Chris who is a musician. We LOVE to go to concerts throughout the year and fishing. I feel very blessed and thankful for an exciting life. I finally went back to school at the age of 50 and studied culinary. I have a catering business on the side and enjoy creating beautiful private dinners in clients homes.
