After graduating from BHS, I attended Bowling Green State University where I majored in Business Education. I graduated from BGSU in 1968 and began teaching at Bedford High during the following September. I taught at BHS for two years when I met my husband (current ex) and moved to Syracuse, NY and taught for one year before we moved to California in 1972. After moving to CA, I went back to college and received my MA from San Jose State University. In 1973 I began teaching business subjects in Santa Cruz, CA where I am still a business teacher. I have moved from teaching shorthand, typing, and accounting to teaching computer applications. Some years ago I was divorced and haven’t remarried. This is my 37th year teaching and I plan on a few more years before I retire. I absolutely love CA! I have never remarried, had several long-term relationships, and have not given up on finding my soul mate to enjoy the remainder of my life.

A passion of mine is traveling. My mother (who moved to CA after my father died in 1973) and I take a major trip together every year and we have been to some very exciting places--Russia, Europe, Galapagos Islands, Amazon--to name a few. My mom is now 87 years young and is still active mentally and physically. Below is a picture of us taken in Africa during the summer of 2004. For summer of 2005, we are off to Ireland.
