Paula's Story
Paula is from Trevor, Wisconsin. She is divorced. Her schools include Wilmot Union High School and UW-Green Bay (Geology, Paleoecology, Water Resources) and lived in Green Bay for 20 years. I moved to Madison for a state job and was there for about 13 years. My son is still in Madison. I went back to school (Landscape Ecology of Lakes/Geology) and afterwards did a postdoc at U.S. EPA in Las Vegas (Landscape Ecology) which brought me to the Southwest in 2007. I have two cats, like to play the Djembe and listen to music. I am a volunteer paleontologist at the Arizona Museum of Natural History and currently personal assistant to a retired clinical psychologist here in Phoenix. I like to travel when I can and will be in Cancun at the end of September.
Paula's interests include rocks, fossils, ostracods, and reading. Music she likes includes Rusted Root, Salsa Cubana. Books she likes include Great Lakes Water Wars, Natural History. Movies she likes include Th King's Speech, Psychological thrillers, Chick flicks. TV shows she likes include Jeopardy!.

Henry David Thoreau

Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
You must be the change you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
Examine each question in terms of what is ethically and aesthetically right, as well as what is economically expedient. A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.
