Have enjoyed living in the Colorado Rockies, the Olympic Rainforest, the bush of Alaska & the Tongass Rainforest in southeast Alaska. I'm now back in Fairbanks, Alaska, where sculptors work in ice, women run dog teams 1000 miles to the top of the world, and, there's 23 hours of daylight for summer fun.
Have raised foster children, an adopted child and birth children and enjoyed raising pet rats, rabbits and sled dogs!
Have worked in education, prevention and in mental health treatment.

High school was difficult. Social anxiety high. Self esteem low. I loved being in the talent show with our small group, though I was scared to death. I loved driving around with friends in my Renault convertible, water balloon showers and all. I was terrified giving those current event reports. Sweet that everyone tried to encourage me. I've been a trainer for teachers and mental health professionals throughout the state. Been an Adjunct Instructor at the University here and fairly overcame those terrifying current event reports!
I liked all my classmates and care about each one of you. I was surprised to read people's notes in my yearbook, that I was a good listener and had wise advise. Became a career listener as a mental health therapist. Guess my classmates saw something in me. Glad we're staying connected.
