Graduated from IL Wesleyan U. in 1966; taught English at junior high level in late 60s and early 70s. Took time out to have three kids and was a stay-at-home mom at that time (subbed and tutored, earned a master's degree). Divorced in 1985 and went to work for Arthur Andersen in St. Charles as an editorial proofreader. Remarried in 1990 and moved to Galena area. Taught English, Spanish, ran yearbook, cheerleaders, Junior Class, and anything else they could get me to do in a small country HS for eight years! Ended that disastrous marriage in 1997, and moved out East in 1998 after my mom died. Since I've been out here, I've had a number of jobs in the printing and publishing field, culminating in my working for the Federal Government beginning in 2008. Currently detailed to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology in the Rayburn HOB...really enjoying the experience. Miss teaching and the interaction with kids, but satisfied with what I'm doing. Met a great guy in 1999; we've been happily married for nearly 11 years. Between us we have 5 sons, 5 daughters-in-law, a daughter, and four grandchildren (3 girls, one boy). Only complaint is that our kids don't live close enough to suit us! Looking forward to seeing everyone in October! Update: Have been working for the Senate Judiciary Committee for over a year now. Up to 7 grandkids between us, all of whom are wonderful and whom we love very much! We're both still full-time employees. Sigh. Further update: Retired as of 11/1/15. Emergency intestinal surgeries resulted in ileostomy and loss of large intestine, spleen, and colon...nearly died. Recovering and thankful for survival.

Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
