About Me
Personal Info
Bio
I have been an attorney for over 25 years and decided to change careers about five years ago. I love teaching because, unlike law, everyone is on the same side! Or at least, I hope so.
Between us, my husband and I have five children and nine grandchildren. Our children's ages range from 43 down to 17, and I must say, I have enjoyed every stage of their lives.
Interests
I love to read, swim, play the piano, pursue the genealogy of my husband's and my family, and I would love to start playing table tennis again, but we will have to clean the basement before that can happen.
