After leaving CHS I married, moved to South Carolina, moved to Brandon, FL, divorced, moved to Kodiak, Alaska, married, divorced, moved to Anchorage and then Cooper Landing, Alaska where I lived with my then young son in a beautiful little wood-stove heated one-room log cabin with an outhouse out back. We had to haul our own water and watch out for moose and bear before stepping out the door. Loved it! Returned to Kodiak then moved to Colorado, then Nebraska (yuck) and back to Colorado where I am now. Home will always be considered Alaska, though I live in Colorado. I think of Colorado as "base camp". I've worked as a Chief Environmental Inspector (Hillsborough Bay, FL), owned and operated (marriage #2) a 45,000 acre cattle, horse and buffalo ranch. Hubby #2 and I built and operated a 19 room/restaurant/bar resort on the ranch catering to fisherman and hunters from all over the world. I divorced that- and became the Marketing Director for the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage. I wanted out of the city and moved to Cooper Landing, Alaska and worked for Princess Cruises as administrator for the Kenai Princess Lodge, later as the gift shop manager.

THEN, I moved to Colorado, did varous junk tourism job...Expand for more
