Let's see. In the 60's I partied at the UofA, got married, moved to New York, New Jersey and Penn. In the 70's I had two daughters, moved back to Tucson, got divorced, got my BA and MA from the U of A (quit partying!), moved to Oklahoma to work as a Museum Curator. In the 80's I got remarried (Bill Cunningham), and worked with a state humanities grant program. In the 90's I returned to my first love of fiber and began weaving professionally, doing national juried shows. In this last decade we moved to the country and live under hundreds of oaks outside the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Daughter Elizabeth is a fiber artist living in Madison, WI where her husband teaches at UW. Daughter Catherine teaches art at Midwestern State in Wichita Falls, TX with her artist husband. Their young sons are my pure delight in life. Time is spent weaving, gardening (not easy Oklahoma), tutoring adult literacy and hiking in the ancient Wichita Mountains which is our passion. Environmental issues are of primary concern, particularly a 3 year battle to stop a water developer. My politics are still left of left! I LOVE being 64, it is a great age. I would truly enjoy seeing many of you again; I have been so out of touch.
