A former primary school teacher, I have served on the California Retired Teachers Assn (CRTA) Board, as newsletter editor for Voice of the Valley for the past five years.  I am also a member of the board of the Valley Federation of Senior Citizen Clubs.

 

I was in the the Journalism class in high school and helped publish the senior album, then took Honorable Mention for a story published in ELAJC's Milestone.  After I was married and had two daughters I wrote poetry whenever the Muse struck.  A late bloomer, I returned to CSUN for my teaching credential when both girls were in junior high and graduated the year that my oldest girl graduated high school.

 

I have since self-published five copies of  my life writing book, "Memories Revisited", which are in the hands of my two daughters' families, my brother, myself and the Library of Congress.
 
On my desktop are 2 folders with various writings for use in Memories Revisited Volume Two - You  and Volume Three - Me, works in progress.
 
My hobbies are oil painting and Mah Jongg. I am also ‘sekkaterry’ to my cat, Pit2nya, who posts and has adventures in the newsgroup rec.cats.pets.community, actually a very clever collaboration of folks with great humor and imagination.
