Hazel graduated from Taylor High School in Pierson Florida before she married and started raising her children. She stayed home to be a wonderful mother and housewife until the late 1960's when she started selling world book encyclopedias and child craft unlocking a true gift of salesmanship winning our family a free trip to the Bahamas with the President of Field Enterprises. She was offered a management position with Field Enterprises, but she turned it down to focus her salesmanship expertise on real estate. Together with Joe Allison as a team Hazel sold many millions of dollars in real estate, but more importantly she began her fight for private property rights by becoming active with the West Volusia Realtors Association and County Committee.
