| Introduction | I am the mother of two remarkable daughters. Between them they have made me a grandmother three times over! Many delightful hours have been spent with my beloved grandchildren--one granddaughter and two grandsons. After teaching elementary school for almost thirty years, with an emphasis on gifted & talented education, I retired in 2002. Since retiring, my husband and I took a long trip to England. Some other interesting experiences include serving on a jury for a murder trial, road trips around the country, running an eBay store, researching family history, working on a book about my father's three years of World War II service based upon his letters to my mother. I am a Colorado native and I love my state! |
