The ocean called to Ann and she moved to Sausalito, California, there she spent many years restoring wooden sailboats. Ann’s adventures took her to many states but she came to Greensboro in 1998, to help her twin brothers in their new business. Ann worked for Cal-Clean for 10 years then the U.S. Post Office and retired from there in 2014.
