I remember a fall bike ride into the woods FAR from campus and sharing a cigarette with a friend in another class. HATED Mountain Day with a consuming passion! Don't ask why - I don't remember.

Chancel and Estey Choirs were my calm in a storm. The thundersnow at the end of '62 Vespers was a real highlight, though, since the first clap of thunder happened after the last chord of the last song died away!

Hmmmm - a batch of hard cider made in the bottom of my closet. Let's just say I'll never do that again! The repercussions were not pretty or fun.

I hate washing pots - my first dummy job! Breakfast Prep was fun, though, and I still like to cook.

I will always remember Miss Dora Palmer fondly. She showed me there was writing ability in me of which I was completely unaware. She was a true champion of the student.

I barely survived a motorcycle accident in 1965 after a year of college which realigned my personal priorities. I married in 1966, had two kids, then went to work at a mental health agency when they were semi-grown. Eventually I decided to go back to school, and was hired by Liberty Mutual Insurance where I worked mostly as a Disbility Insurance claims case manager. Divorced in 1989, I am now retired, remarried to a clergyman, and relaxing! Still singing and have never stopped, thanks to Al Raymond - a lovely man from whom I learned how to sing my faith.
