I am retired after teaching in the Hopkins School District for 36 years. It is wonderful to be able to choose how I spend my time! I have been doing a little substitute teaching and finally getting at some home projects that have been on the back burner far too long.
I help out with grandkids when needed and volunteer at my church. I joined a BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) group - something I'd wanted to do for a long time but didn't have enough time to commit to it. My husband, Jerry (St. Louis Park Class of '67), and I have two daughters - Kate and Heidi. We also have three grandchildren - Sophia, age 13, Olivia, age 7 and Owen age 4. They are truly a joy!! We traveled to Arizona and California this winter. How wonderful to get away from some weeks of winter. We don't see ourselves ever becoming snowbirds - just can't be away from the grandkids that long! In the summer I spend long hours in my garden. It is a peaceful place and I enjoy my time there.

Married to Jerry; 2 kids, three grandchildren.
