Born and raised in Chicago. She fell in love with Acapulco and fell in love with her husband at first sight while sipping a Margarita at the hottest bar on the Costera of Acapulco. The balmy weather, beautiful beaches and dramatic sunsets of Acapulco beckon them back each winter to escape the cold winds and snows of Chicago. Duran was Director of Admissions and Director of Public Relations at the International Academy of Merchandising and Design and was President of the Chicago Fashion Exchange. Duran was also Associate Producer of Gauguin the Musical in Chicago. In her youth she presented the Olympic gold medals to the winners of one of the Olympic weight lifting divisions during the Pan American Olympics in Chicago. An event she will never forget. Her husband, John Lahey, in his youth was a star basketball player at DePaul University and played with the traveling team of the Harlem Globetrotters for 4 years. Duran has one married daughter and a wonderful son-in-law.view less
