My husband and I have been together for… let’s say we met in 1983. He is not only my companion and friend, but also the guardian of my imagination.

It was an experience I would never give up and I hope I made a difference for those students, but underneath the apple crusted desk, I was always a writer, an observer and a student of human behavior and responses. My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.
