I went to Rice, hated it, and came back to Tucson to the U of A, where I went to school forever. Thanks to the National Science foundation, I have degrees up the wazoo. I married my first husband in college, had a son, Greg, and started teaching at Pueblo in 1965. Divorced in 1967, I married my second husband, a fellow Pueblo teacher in 1972 and had to go to THS. I whined about needing a place to rescue animals, so in 1976, we bought property near what is now Dove Mountain...NW of town...at which point my husband contracted terminal cancer. He died in 1985. I kept teaching, and kept my animals, too...dogs, cats, horses, goats, even three rats...all rescues. In the 80s, I quit teaching science and began a program for seriously at-risk kids. I retired in 1994. I now rescue special needs dogs...mostly pit bulls. I became a raw vegan...the best thing I ever did for myself, and the TRUE fountain of youth. It's been a wild ride!!! Oh, and I have two grandsons, Max and Nick.
