Upon graduation from Gordon College in Mass, I joined the US Army and served for just over three years. It was a wonderful eye-opening experience. I spent several years working with the Army in a few different locations until I married in '81. I had the joy of being a stay at home mom to my three kids until they were in high school, then I began to teach high school literature (etc) at a local private school. I continue to teach in a variety of different venues.
