After I completed my degree in Anthropology from UW and my husband his PhD in Historical Geography, we moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada when he was accepted as a professor at York University, and then 15 years later moved to Wilmington, Delaware.  I worked in industry and international insurance for several years and became bored until I found the challenges of health care, where I managed a surgicenter and physician practices for 25 years.  I am trying to get used to being retired, since I enjoyed working.

I have enjoyed collecting Inuit Art over the years and visiting and learning about their families and culture.  I am having fun with Photoshop Elements on old photos, and I am involved with various family and friends, taking courses at the U of Delaware Academy of Life Long Learning, as well as doing what comes up.  Since my family is important to me, I wish my children were closer, but we are emotionally close and use Skype, and I have beautiful places to visit and spend time.
