Denise's Story
Life
After 2 children and a great 22 year marriage, one day I found myself in a kayak floating down the Yukon River with a buddy. It was awakening to a new life of adventure - mountains, rivers, motorcycles, skiing, climbing, bicycling, generally ...working on doing EVERYTHING!! And I don't intend to stop till it is done. Next challenge Mount McKinley, Alaska - highest mountain in North America
New partner now - still climbing/skiing/motorcycling. First attempt at Denali (McKinley)was a good trip, but without a summit. Will try again.
School

azy stuff till lately.
College
I started out in a theatre major then realized those other girls were a little more dedicated to getting parts... any way they needed to - switched to Art - Two buddies - - one collage artist -still have a piece of his, and the other slim and muscular could pack away enough for four at one sitting. I remember headaches in third year - an accumulation of chemical exposure!!!
Workplace
Done just about everything - drove a tour boat, painted an art gallery, camp cook, waitress, but the last 18 years I have been working in Human Resources - in the Yukon Territory and writing on the side.
