My professional career has consisted of being an art teacher at all grade
levels in the public schools of New Castle County, Delaware. Also taught performing arts, special education, was a guidance counselor, taught Art education at the University of Delaware, was the Art Therapist for the Christina School District for ten years, was a family therapist and even a sex therapist! I've had a business off and on since high school designing and making clothes, more recently wedding and christening gowns and interior design items and costumes for plays. This has been since retiring from teaching. I also now work part time at the Delaware History Museum. |

This has prompted me to remember many things I hadn't thought about in
years--many of them poignant. The extracurricular activities stand out as the most fun: the plays, cheerleading, long bus rides at night from far away basketball games, parties at Dwight and Diane Coe's and Artie Zimmerman's...As far as most memorable teachers go, I really couldn't stand the man, but I was most profoundly influenced by Mr. Yeagley of all people. From him I learned my love of history and the classics, Shakespeare, poetry, classical music--and Latin has always served me well as a basis for understanding language. I feel bad I never went back and told him how important he had been to me. |

I've always stayed very busy, engaging in lots of different sports through
the years: tennis, horseback riding, sailing, skiing, bicycling, rollerblading, hiking--now I'm down to mostly walking and hiking. I also enjoy gardening and gourmet cooking as well as keeping up with various forms of artwork and studying French. My kids and I rehabbed the house I live in--though it turned out to be much more than a hobby--it took years of hard work! I've traveled to many places in Europe and hope to go back again--lots more places I haven't been. |
