I wandered around for 4 years trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life, but couldn't decide, so as many women of my age I became a teacher.

I was active in professional organizations. The school changed and I left. I have 2 children, a boy and girl who are now in their 40s.

I love to play golf, but have given up tennis, and paddle tennis. I do get back to Peru several times a year to see 2 nieces who live there. I spend my time now doing volunteer work, playing the piano, reading and writing, and corresponding with friends. I am always looking for new friends.
