They relocated to Groton, VT with their bakery, and adding a take out restaurant, country store and sold grain and rented videos for many years naming it Krys & Don's Bakery. For a few years, she and Ken sold potato chips and then turned it over to their daughter and her husband as a wedding gift. After closing the family business in 1995 she moved to Bethlehem NH and along with Ken operated the Bethlehem Country Club bar and restaurant and did catering at Maplewood. In later years she learned how to use a computer and through her love for Ricky Martin she found a couple of fan websites. She joined them and made numerous special friends, many of whom she met in person. Others have stayed in close contact through Facebook.
