Occupation	teaching high school
Location	Coeur d'Alene, ID
Introduction	I am a mother of three, two daughters (twins), and a son. I have four grand- sons, five and under (two live in Coeur d'Alene, and two in Chicago). I am a wife to Jim who is in lumber sales. I am a sister to Phyl, who is older, and to Wayne, my twin brother. I am fortunate to have friends both near and far who I refer to as my "Ya Ya's." Starting in 1969, in Washington state, I began a career in education that has lasted a lifetime. I retired from IL in '06 and started teaching again in ID working part time which I love. My high school is on an "A-B" block which means I go every other day.
