There were many happy memories and stories to share. Sandy and Doug settled in Waldorf over 30 years ago after living in Hawaii, Germany, Virginia, Georgia, & Delaware. In addition, Sandy was an extremely skilled & creative artist of Ukrainian Easter eggs known as "pysanka," and was a very adept & popular Ukrainian baker/cook.
