I was born & raised in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA and worked as a secretary for 6 years. I was married there in 1964 to Dave Gallo. While I had been raised in a church and thought I was a Christian, I accepted Christ as my Savior at a Billy Graham movie in Pittsburgh in 1965. It was then that I realized I had only head knowledge about Christ, but did not know Him in my heart. We moved to Orwigsburg in 1971 when Dave was transferred for his job, and became part of the church the next year. Our 4 children grew up in the church and graduated from Blue Mt. schools. They are all married and have their own families, as well as 11 grandchildren who are precious to our hearts! I worked as a part-time volunteer church secretary from l978 to 1988. From l988 until the present, I have been paid on an hourly basis as a part-time administrative assistant. I have had the privilege of working with Pastors Pierce, Mellon, Keeler and now Lee Stauff. It has been a joy to serve the Lord in this way, as well as being part of our worship team, leading a bi-weekly ladies Bible study, being secretary of our ladies Missionary Fellowship, being part of a small group Bible Study, teaching children, and just being involved with our local church body in any way. Dave and I will be married 43 years in 2007. I enjoy cooking, music, sewing, arts and crafts, traveling, hiking and especially spending precious time with our children and grandchildren!
