Leonor grew up in the driest desert (The Atacama) In the world in Antofagasta Chile. She raised 3 wonderful children before she decided to visit her sister who lived in Pennsylvania . A late night unlikely chance meeting at the Bobs Big Boy Reisterstown Road and the beltway. She met me Allen Markow that night, not speaking any English and I did not know a word Spanish, her being 12 years older and of different backgrounds, everyone though that it could never work. We had over 35 awesome fun years. She worked at Owings Mills Mall until we moved to Florida 23 years ago.
