My life has had many paths. Dad died quite unexpectedly 2 months before our graduation. I attended Radford College where I became interested in folk singing and performed with a small group at colleges in southwest Virginia. Before my junior year I married and moved to Manhattan working for American Arbitration Association doing publication editing and attending Hunter College (CUNY) at night.
After divorcing I returned to Arlington and worked for the editor at the National Association of Mutual Insurance Agents on our trade association magazine. A second marriage in 1969 saw me relocating to Mayo, MD, a beach community south of Annapolis. I worked for the Director of the Annapolis Urban Renewal Authority until my daughter and son were born in 1972 and 1974.
The next 8 wonderful years I was a “stay at home” mom. I served as VP of my community association and President of our co-op nursery school. I directed plays and vacation bible school at Mayo United Methodist Church and sang in the choir. When both children were at school all day I returned to part time employment as a legal secretary in Annapolis.
I divorced in 1981 and remarried in 1982 gaining three additional children and fulfilling my childhood wish of having five children. Our 7-member family camped from Maine to Florida. My work at Prince George’s Community College started me on a career in proposal development and writing. Finally in 1987 I earned my B.S. from University of Maryland University College in Behavioral and Social Science.
From 1990 to 1999 I lived the single life in Churchton, MD, worked at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore as the Director of Grants and began singing with the Annapolis Chorale.
In 1999 two wonderful things happened. I went to work at at Johns Hopkins University in the Center for Imaging Science and I met Bill Galebach at the Chorale. We have a home on Bear Neck Creek in Mayo, enjoy boating on the bay, sing with the Annapolis Chorale and belong to St. James Episcopal Church in Lothian, MD. We have four lovely granddaughters 2, 4, 6, and 8 and a grandson 18 months. Life is good!

Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
