I have been living in San Antonio, TX for the past 35 years. Married Marc in 1990. Our daughter, Alison, is a school psychologist and her husband Andrew is a HS English teacher. Alison is adopted from South Korea and Andrew is a red-headed Englishman. Their 2 kids are a great combination of both!

My career has been in publishing, specializing in school programs for a diverse classroom. I have officed in San Antonio but have worked remotely as VP, Creative Director for Hampton Brown Books in Carmel California. They were purchased by National Geographic in 2005 and I became SVP of National Geographic School Publishing. No travel to remote locals like Madagascar, but lots of time spent in Chicago, New York, DC, and the California Bay Area. In 2010 I went to work for a publishing development company in NY and Delhi, India. Again, no foreign travel but lots of SKYPE. It has been challenging and fun to experience working with different cultures (both NYC and India!)

I semi-retired (3 weeks ago) and am looking forward to more activity and more free time. Marc retired from a career in printing sales and is an avid sailor. We have a boat in Austin and I'm trying to “learn the ropes”. We pick the grandkids up from school twice a week and really enjoy this special time. We joined the YMCA and are attending the senior exercise classes. Never an athlete, it seems I have finally gown into my ability level. Marc and I are getting involved in local politics and have worked on the mayor’s campaign (he won!). We also joined Battleground Texas, who’s goal is to register voters in Texas. Retirement is looking busy!

I look forward to seeing everyone for the 50th!
