Life
Throughout my life I have been blessed. While many are smarter, better and more deserving the years have been rewarding and full.
Our family actually first lived about two blocks from the WHS campus on Stonybrook Drive. My sister and I went to the local schools (Reid, Hanson and Orangeview for her.) until about the early part of 66.

I also perform volunteer work primarily for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Cheers!
