Terrie's Story
Remember those 3x5 index cards that Mrs. Foster collected from us senior year? The ones on which we jotted down where we thought we would be in 5 years? I was absolutely sure where I would be, and what I would be doing--and even how I got there. I was wrong (express shock and amazement here).
Did a year at OSU and learned quite a bit, unfortunately none of it inside the classroom. Went back to school and after several long and crazy years FINALLY graduated with my B.A. in History (history of war with a focus on non-conventional troops) and a Political Science concentration (US/Russia Relations-who knew that this would take front stage again?!?). Moved to WDC, lived on Capitol Hill for 6 years (I REALLLLLY miss the Metro) and worked for Georgetown University Law Center (international programs¿).
Finally, moved back to Loveland to buy my childhood home and to work with the Freedom Center (curator of exhibitions and developing the Contemporary Slavery Institute).
Finished my 4-year stint trying to save the world in March. Now I am keeping out of trouble by spending a great deal of time volunteering for the Greater Loveland...Expand for more
Historical Society Museum--have you visited lately???--while trying to decide what I want to be (next) when I grow up.
On the homefront, I am chagrined to report that after owning my home for 4 years I am still in the process of redecorating. Of course, I have been assured by various and sundry homeonwners that this is quite normal and I should not suffer any real embarrassment over it.
As for the dog...I am the proud--and many would say overly indulgent--owner of a 5-yr old black lab-hound mix named Spencer [no I did not name him--so no comments from the peanut gallery]. He's 100lbs of puppy, which means I do not walk him--he walks me [much to the amusement of my neighbors].
Not married and no kids (of my own, but apparently I am a very cool aunt) which means I have total control of the remote, don't drive a mini-van, lavish insane amounts of attention on my dog, brave international travel,and sleep in on Saturdays.
That's all to report for now--no books written, no offices won, no national awards, no scientific discoveries...just a life with a few adventures here and there, and no regrets...but I'll keep you posted.
