Comments / Life Story:
Born and raised in Elkton, Oregon. I have traveled to many places, including St. Croix USVI where I taught grade 6 for 3 years. I have lived in Salem Oregon where I taught grade 3 and 4 for 3 years, Eugene (taught grades 3,4 and Reading Specialist for 10 years), southern Oregon, northern California (taught grade 4 for 8 years), and currently live in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam, where I teach grade 2 at International School Saigon Pearl. I will probably stay here, with one or two visits back to Oregon/Washington a year, until retirement, or who knows, venture on to Alaska to teach in the bush. (I did end up staying in VietNam for 2 years and then going to the Alaskan Bush, which is where I am now. I will retire in 1 1/2 years and then settle in my home in Eugene, Oregon.)
