Jimmy NewellEileen and Jimmy Newell were both born in The Bronx to Irish immigrant parents, and met when Eileen was a senior in high school and Jimmy was a senior in college. It was love at first sight, and they married five years later in 1976. Jimmy studied Hitory and eventually Law at Saint John's University, and Eileen fulfilled her dream of becoming a nurse by studying at Saint Vincent's School of Nursing in Greenwich Village. Jimmy's career was primarily in education, first as a teacher and then as a Director of Financial Aid at a number of New York area schools including Columbia University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and Downstate Medical Center. When Jimmy isn't playing with his Lionel trains or watching the New York Yankees, he enjoys writing. He started his blog, The Newell Post, in 2013, and published his first book, A Bronx Boy's Tale, the same year. Eileen has been a nurse for forty-three years, a very fulfilling career, and she enjoys cooking, shopping, reading, and writing. She and Jimmy now relish the Florida lifestyle, days at the beach, Yankees Spring Training in Orlando, and visits from friends, family, and their two grand-dogs, Rudy and Scout. Read More Read Less
