Debb Eaton of Milan, NH, a corrections officer at the state prison in Berlin, NH, confirmed this week that she is one of the 16 contestants who will compete against each other in the Australian Outback.

Eaton, 45, who was born in Milwaukee and grew up in Wisconsin, moved to New Hampshire in 1973 and lived in the Derry area. She and her fiance, Robert, whose last name also is Eaton, have lived in Milan for about three months. Robert is also a corrections officer at the prison. Her first husband was a state trooper who died three years ago. She has one son, who is a Marine sergeant.

A local acquaintance described Eaton to the Berlin Daily Sun as "a real determined girl" who is bright, positive, physically fit and has an outgoing personality.
