I grew up as an only child in Kansas City, MO. After college, I lived and worked in rural MO. I now reside in south St. Louis County, MO. I was a school teacher and librarian for 25 years, retiring in 2011. My husband, Tony, and I have been married 44 years. We have 2 children, Jeffrey (Emily) & Allison, and 4 grandchildren, Avery, Nora, Coen, and Cal. My hobbies are reading, watching TV, playing the flute and piccolo in a community band, following current events, and researching family history.
