We finally got a decent amount of snow in the Pocono’s it brought back memories of growing up in the Pocono’s. However the snow that we got in my past was much more then we have seen in the last few years. I remember walking through snow that was up to my waste sometimes up to my neck it was awesome. We built many snow men some were extremely large. We didn’t have a day off from school because of the snow we sometimes had a week off from school. Roads would be closed. This was snow in the Pocono’s.
The last Pocono snow fall, I got together with my friend and the Broker of Century 21 Select Group in the Pocono’s Maggie and our three grandchildren and Dog Bear we played in the snow all day. We all had a great day sledding, building snowmen and just playing in the snow.
I enjoy the snow “but” I am now ready for the change of season it will be great to see the first sign of spring in the Pocono’s.
It’s tangible, it’s solid, it’s beautiful. It’s artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate.

BLAKESLEE, PA : Sharon Ruggiero celebrated 25 years
with CENTURY 21. She was honored with a surprise party at the Blakeslee
office. Sharon started out as “OUR GAL FRIDAY” and did it all from front
desk, assigning leads, typing (ha ha) contracts and leases, bookkeeping and
receptionist. She recalls lugging in firewood to keep our woodstove going.
And she laughed about the “typing test” she had to take to get the job.
Sharon has been a loyal and hardworking employee over the years and there is
no way to truly thank her for all she does. Now she manages the accounting
for Blakeslee, Lake Harmony, Hazleton and Brodheadsville. Plus she is a
Super Relocation Director for our Relo Department for Select Group.
Sharon came on board when she was 18. We shared in celebrating her marriage
and birth of her two children Dylan and Cheyanne who are now 16 and 11. Boy
does time fly.
Congratulations to a great woman and a wonderful employee.
Brian McCardle, manager of the Hazleton branch stopped in to celebrate with
Sharon as they both started with the company around the same time. So we
gave him a little celebration too and crowned him.
