Outside of Work

Aileen’s spare time is spent tending to her garden until she gets a close encounter with worms, then her husband or son ends up putting away her scattered gardening tools. She loves to cook, too. However, cooking doesn’t seem to love her back, but her husband appreciates it.

She also loves Chicago sports, with her favorite being hockey and football coming in second. However, she is an avid fan of Michael Jordan and no one could drag her away from watching every Chicago Bulls game during that era. It was during that time when she got to know all the names of the Saints in heaven, they came in handy when the Bulls were behind. She says some may call it hoarding, but she has a collection of newspaper write-ups on all six championship trophies.
