Introduction	My life is eclectic. I taught EMT on Ft. C and adult ed classes at a local college. I was in charge of a program on Ft. C that taught ESL and worked with soldiers as they prepared for their INS naturalization exams. I was president of a non-profit that partnered with the State Dept in sending aid to Russia after the collapse of the USSR. Now I am a photographer. I live in the NOW mode... No Opportunity Wasted! I go at it full throttle. I swam with dolphins in Key Largo, flew on the old Aeroflot and survived!, have hot air ballooned in Kenya, love to ride hunter/jumpers, I take culinary classes, been snorkeling in Aruba, have learned various heritage handicrafts, go on major road trips... the list is long. I sponsor 6 kids overseas. Himself retired in '99 (after 22 years in SF) and we now travel. I've been to 16 countries & 38 states. In '08 we bought a house on the river. My focus now is on making this house into our home.
