urricular class for 6, 7, and 8th grade students. I taught a journalism class for 13 years while I taught seventh grade core: language arts and social studies for two periods each day.

I belong to a local gym and take three pilates classes a week as well as work out on some of the machines. Currently, I am taking piano and Italian classes. Hans, a black poodle, resides at my home. We go to a dog park most afternoons as he has high energy even at 6 year of age.
I have traveled to China and some European countries. This summer I spent two weeks in Spain in Barcelona, Oviedo, and Madrid with my son Greg's family. Next summer I plan to travel to Italy: Rome and Florence.
