Officially I am a '68 graduate of South Sioux City High--changed schools my sopomore year--but Central and friends from there mean a lot to me. At Central, I loved English classes (with Mrs. French); choir with Mr. Larson; and dramatics with Mr. Assink (sp? - who mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the year?

After getting an M.Div. degree from United Seminary in 1984, I worked for several years with a homeless shelter; and later took a position with a nonprofit in the Twin Cities--the Gay and Lesbian Community Action Council, where I worked for twelve years. I've been with my long-time partner, Stuart Holland, since 1991. We enjoy both attending, and occasionally performing in, music and theater events.
