20 Questions With Sherry Dusko

20 Questions With Sherry Dusko

Although Sherry Dusko has known her husband Bruce (pictured w. Sherry above) since they met in middle school back in their native New Jersey, the couple didn’t start dating until after high school and they raised their two boys in Indiana. Bruce’s job is also the reason the couple ended up in Lower Alabama 16 years ago, where Sherry almost immediately went to work for the Convention & Visitors Burea. Recently retired from her post as advertising manager, Sherry will remain active in our community in retirement. She is on the Board of the Gulf Shores Women’s Club and the Christian Service Center. A beach lover at heart, Sherry also looks forward to spending extended time with her three grandchildren, reading a variety of books and “enjoying it all.’’
