North Branford Patch: What was your first job?
Barron: I grew up in Ansonia and when you were 15, the town offered employment for the summer. I was placed at the Joseph Doyle Senior Center.  I spent my summer doing activities and serving hot lunches to the senior citizens in my town. Little did I know that my summer experience at 15 would turn into my career at 36. I enjoyed it then and love it even more now!
