Hi, my name is Barbara Divido (rhymes with tippitoe). I am a born and bred southern gal, although I have lived in states on both the east and west coasts and as far as north as Pennsylvania and Michigan.

I am 67 years old and I have 3 sons, 6 grandsons, 6 granddaughters and a great granddaughter and 2 great grandsons. One of my granddaughters is currently serving in Iraq.

I retired from Siecor in Keller, TX in January, 1998, where I was a metrology technician. I was a certified ASQC Internal Auditor and participated in the internal system audits for Siecor.

I started with BXI in 1999 as a travel broker and then became the office manager until the office was closed by the BXI Corporate office. After several months, Alan Z. called me and asked me to take the office as Area Director, and the rest is history.

I believe there are four things that make life good: God, family, friends and a sense of humor. If you call to tell me something, make sure that I have a pad and pen handy, because at 67, I am getting a little forgetful.
