After graduating from the U of A and teaching English for two years at Tucson High, I moved, kicking and screaming, to the Bay Area (CA). There I had a 33-year career teaching high school English, the last 12 also as department head. While in the Bay Area, I especially enjoyed the San Francisco opera, Berkeley Rep theater, Carmel, the Napa wine country, and Lake Tahoe. When my second husband, Sheldon, grew to love Tucson, we decided to retire here at Saddle Brooke where we appreciate the beauty and the many activities. My interests are oil painting (our walls are covered), tennis (addicted), reading, working acrostics and crosswords, and spending time with friends -- with a lot of eating out! I still love opera and theater, and I'm an ardent volunteer in support of our Tucson Symphony. My husband and I also enjoy exploring the history and scenery of our state and the Southwest. I'm definitely enjoying my retirement!
