Alice had never flown before becoming a travel agent. She worked at Business World of Travel and the World Wide Travel for 20 years. She learned airport codes before computers did that automatically. She learned to use the computer and became quite the collector of computers as time went on. Alice's travel agent job gave her the opportunity to visit many fascinating places around the world. Alice was also a professional Cruise Consultant. Some of her adventures were in Mexico, the Caribbean, Japan, London, and more with her beloved husband Bill. Alice made many friends in her travels. Alice's sense of humor made every room she entered the better for it. Make no mistake, Alice loved spirited conversations and rarely back pedaled. Alice loved to scrapbook and was very well informed about her family's genealogy. Alice's scrapbook work and pictures were great gifts to the Reisch family, as well as her children. They all benefited from her love and desire to keep volumes of pictures/scrapbooks. Alice also kept scrapbooks for friends. Alice enjoyed the Arts and Education, and was a must in her vision for her family. She lived her live through that love. Many times she would have her grandkids sing and perform on the fireplace to entertain her and grandpa.
