"You have an eye for news," 
my editor at The Evanston (Illinois) Clarion once told me.
 
Those were fun years, chasing folks through a vital Chicago 'burb, slipping in the mud while trying to snap a good shot of Princess Di, covering the arts in an artsy town. And then, I went to teaching ESL and English in public high school. It was while taking  National Writing Project's class in teaching writing, that I started itching to, well--WRITE! Enjoy my stories.

My life is rounded out with being grammy to an awesome young man, 
teaching English, traveling, hanging with friends, volunteeriing, and playing with Spanky, our sweet chihuahua.
