| Carol is a native New Yorker who grew up in the City,
then moved to Long Island and later to Maryland. In 1965
she enrolled as a freshman at Wellesley College and later
majored in economics. During her college years, Carol's
father accepted an engineering job in Massachusetts so her
parents moved to Wellesley Hills, only a few miles from
the college. Then, in her junior year, a mutual friend introduced
Carol to Edward Perry who was writing training manuals for
the Navy and trying to build a radio station in the nearby
town of Natick. Edward and Carol got along so well that
after her college graduation, Carol's mother suggested her
daughter enroll in a Masters Degree Program at the University
of Michigan nearly 1,000 miles from Natick. But despite
the distance, Carol and Edward stayed in touch and in 1973
they were married.
Carol's first job as an economist involved siting new
branches for Shawmut Bank. She later joined Blue Cross/Blue
Shield of Massachusetts and remained there for 24 years.
In 1994 Carol left Blue Cross to begin work in the WATD
sales department where she now handles a number of accounts
and helps with traffic and billing.
Carol is usally found plotting trips
to yard sales or to her summer cottage on Martha's Vineyard.
