Life has brought many twists and turns! I moved to Colorado, then Arizona and then California, where I remarried. I have published fiction (see Nine O'Clock Blue on Amazon.com), nonfiction and poetry and have worked for textbook publishers before being asked to found a nonprofit to help learners become change agents of their generation. We now connect kids in many countries and have founded schools from the ground up in some, including a charter school in LA. It hasn't been easy, but since leaving Oregon during the recession of '83, all the risks have been productive ones.
For the past few years, my daughter has worked in Afghanistan and Ethiopia in international education. My son completed an environmental science degree at Berkeley and started a business in Denver. I have a kind husband and partner whose interests are similar to mine. Life was tough at times over the years, but I've been blessed with many opportunities to serve and have traveled so much, my bones hurt. Who knew I would end up here?
