50th Reunion
I have been a lawyer in California since 1978, living and working in Oakland where I own a 101-year-old house which is lovely but a lot of work. I helped to bring up a child who is now 31 living in New York, and am active in St. Mark’s Episcopal church in Berkley, studying for a Certificate of Theological Studies at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific. My travels have included China, England, France, Mexico, and New Zealand, and I hope to do more if I can ever get myself completely retired; I’ve worked three days a week for 21⁄2 years.

2004 Reunion
Notes of my life: Interesting jobs with War on Poverty and Jobs Corp Center, before law school in the 70's.
Current activities: Has been in the field of Elder Law in Oakland, California since the field emerged in the early 80's. Active in the St. Marks Episcopal Church of Berkeley.
Plans for the future: Retire in ‘06
Memories from Lawrence High days: Editing the paper and helping write the class prophesies and wondering how many predictions came true. The 4th of July fireworks at KU stadium.

I was an Army wife for 10 years, moving nine times in those 10 years! We lived in Taiwan for two years. I am widowed now, have two children and three grandchildren. I taught elementary school for 30 years; the last 20 were kindergarten. I crochet for groups — “Soldiers’ Angels” and “Cozees” and “Snuggles” for homeless pets. I plan to resume quilting and enjoy time with family and friends.
