2017: See you all very soon now! I've been retired for 3 years (fundraising at Occidental College) and have been enjoying travel, volunteering at the Adult Literacy Center, and gardening.

2012: After UCLA (master's in English), I lived abroad for 18 years, first in The Netherlands where my son was born and then on the Spanish islands of Ibiza and Mallorca, where I taught English and raised a family. Back in the U.S. since 1989, second marriage to a quaint mustachioed Englishman and living quietly in the foothills. I work in fundraising at Occidental College (which claims both Jack Kemp and Barak Obama as alums), have a lovely daughter-in-law and step-grandson, and two granddogs (greyhounds rescued from the racetrack). We held a Shay-Phi-Dels reunion last year and it was a delicious time of reconnecting. Looking forward to this milestone DSHS event and exchanging stories with fellow Vikings!
