Beth Barton

Partied and traveled until 1990.
Then got my B.A. in education in 1990, had knee surgery and a concussion that proves eventful in the future.
Took coursework towards my master's in science and worked at a Red Rock
State Park in Sedona and the Red Rock Forest Service in Sedona.
Quit, and worked towards my Master's at U. of A. in education (and received it) while I was working at a charter school (Amerischools).

Was diagnosed with brain cancer, went on disability, and quit Amerischools
(to go to Sunnyside school district, but was put on disability).
Live in Colorado where I receive disability benefits, do not drive, and live in a
little town named Canon City. I'm surprised to be alive.
Had a second surgery in 2014 to remove tumor growth. It took a year to recover from this one.
Moving to Phoenix in a month (this is July 2016) to live in a little studio on Rachel LaMaide's property. She's a childhood friend who happens to be a nurse AND she took care of Glioblastoma patient (her ex-husband's brother) who died in her care. Before she was a nurse.

so, I've had a good life.

i want to say hello to Jennifer Purnell. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you the times you tried to contact me. I was busy getting busted (for marijuana - thank god it's legal) and working as a Park Ranger (that time you left a business card at my house in Cottonwood) and I was just busy. I now have free time, lots of it, and if you're still in Phoenix and still interested I'd like you to look me up. When I get settled.

I'm living in a studio on rachel's property. In a month. My parents are still alive, though Dad has dementia.
