BS degree with Certificate in Physical Therapy 1973

I always worked as a Physical Therapist part-time while raising a family. We movedto Fl from Brooklyn Heights, NY in 1993. Having to "reinvent" myself, I stopped working as a therapist in 2007 and started working at Barnes & Noble part-tme. I had by then started learning the Argentine Tango and did that for several years, then my feet gave out. So I started taking guitar (acoustic) lessons. I was taking lessons from a teacher whose specialty was flat-picking Bluegrass style. It was really challenging, but I loved learning the music. While I learned a lot, I got to the point where I felt my fingers would never be as nimble as they needed to be to really be able to play even somewhat good. I recently joined a local choral group. We give several concerts during the season. We gave one in December, and have one coming up in Feb. I also enjoy reading, swimming, crossword puzzles. Until recenty I had a Golden Retriever that I would enjoy walking and taking to the beach. Other than that I dabble in other interests like photography and yoga.

I think many of you will remember me as "Mutzie", my nickname that I still use.
