My Mother, Judy Thibodeau

My mother is a wonderful person. She originally hails from a mill city on the Connecticut River named Claremont, NH. Claremont is on the Vermont border, just south of Hanover (home of Dartmouth College). She works at a company called Teradyne Connection Systems in Hudson, NH. She loves to work in her garden, play with her grandchildren, work on arts & crafts, and play scrabble. 

Growing up, she was a pretty strict disciplinarian, which to us, just made her seem mean. Only when we were much older did us kids learn to appreciate all that she did for us growing up. She certainly wasn't rich, but she made tremendous sacrifices for all of us kids, and always made sure that we had everything we needed. All in all, I think she did a great job raising us - I love you mom!
