After Madison, went to NYCity Community College, got a degree in Medical Technology, continued at NYU, again in Medical Technology, got another degree. Got married, lived in a very funky apartment in Park Slope, got a job (in Medical Technology of course - Clinical Chemistry) first at NYU Medical Center, then the New York Hospital/Cornell Med. Center (I think it's now the Presbyterian - Cornell Weill?) on York and 1st Ave.
Got the bug, and moved to Berkeley, Ca. in 1974 sans husband, where I've been since.

Compliance Manager.

Ooo-o , this is beginning to sound like a dating profile.
That's a quick summary.
