Graduated from Tufts U with a Math major; hired by Bell Telephone Labs, who thought mathematicians would make good programmers. Attended night school at Rutgers while at Bell Labs, receiving an M.S. in Statistics in 1966. Spent my career (1963-2011) as a software developer/test engineer. Lived/worked in London 5 years; Stanford University for 3 years; Minneapolis/Computer Center at U. of Minnesota 10 years; Austin, Texas for 10 years; Atlanta 3 years; then back to MA in 1998 where I worked in/around Boston until I retired from Dun & Bradstreet 2011. Took a little time off to have 2 children in 1971, 1973.
Now retired and living full time on Cape Cod and doing lots of volunteer work and fun stuff.

Retirement was life-changing, in a good way. I am back where I started, living in the same house I grew up in - but with major additions. I loved my work, but finally realized there was much more I wanted to do in life, and then I was very "antsy" to get on with it. I am on the Alumni Council for both NMH and Tufts. I am on the Board of Directors for the Orleans Council on Aging and also volunteer there. Paddling Chair for the Appalachian Mountain Club (Southeast MA Chapter) and an active kayaker. Volunteer for the Domestic/Sexual Violence Center in Hyannis. Treasurer of Business and Professional Women's Club. I also attend Lifetime Learning classes, and travel to be with my children/grandchildren several times/year. Life is Good!
