Judy (Heino) Collette and her husband, George
After graduating from GHS, Judy attended the Stenotype Institute of Boston, which led to her first job in transcription at General Radio in Concord, MA. She married George Collette in 1961. Son David was born in 1962, daughter Lisa in December, 1963, and daughter Carolyn in December of 1965. Grandson Kyle was born in 1990. In 1970 Judy returned to work as a typesetter for a local printer. After 34 years working for four different printers, Judy retired in 2004 as a Graphic Design Manager.
In the late 1980s, Judy and George started traveling with her sister and brother-in-law, first to Bermuda, then later to London, Paris, and Jamaica. The "traveling bug" brought them to Aruba, Antigua, Australia, Barbados, Canada, Dominican Republic, Grand Bahamas, Nasau, Hawaii, and Ireland. Many of these places were visited more than once. Now, their immediate family frequently travels with them for family vacations in Maine, California, and Virginia Beach.
Judy's documentation skills have kept her very active with GHS Class of 1960 reunions. She has volunteered many hours organizing Holy Spirit Church fairs. Judy also volunteers for the United Way and local Red Cross Blood Drives.
For the past five years, Judy and George have supported their youngest daughter in her fight against Cancer.
