Jo, a retired teacher

My blogs

Gender	Female
Industry	Education
Occupation	Retired teacher
Location	Utah, United States
Introduction	Taught for 28 years. Although I taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, 6th was my favorite and I spent 18 years working with 11 and 12-year-olds. For almost 8 years before that, I worked as an office manager for a college Dean and Professor who was one of the most intelligent men I've ever met. Good, thoughtful people are everywhere and sometimes ideas and information need to be shared.
Favorite Movies	Not much of a movie buff. Really annoyed when favorite books are made into mediocre movies.
Favorite Music	Probably one of the last people on the planet without an MP3 player. Enjoy music, just don't need it all the time.
Favorite Books	I don't know how to choose. I do have favorite authors though. I look forward to books by Clive Cussler, Dick Francis, Tami Hoag, Robert Parker, and Tess Gerritsen. When I'm in the mood for romance I like Catherine Coulter and J.D. Robb (I know that's a pseudonym), and the best fantasy writer is Terry Brooks. I read books by Jonathan Kellerman, James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, JA Jance, Jeffery Deaver, and more. I still try to keep up with new novels for young adults because of my growing grandchildren. I had to read the new series by Stephanie Meyers because I promised one of my former students that I would. Intriguing and quite clever, but obviously for young women, not the old and jaded.
