Life:
I returned to Michigan (November 2017), to live at home with Mom. I am a member of the part-time faculty at Montcalm Community College.

- Moved to Highland, Kansas (August 2015), where I taught College Spanish and Intermediate Algebra at Highland Community College. I lived in Kansas from 2015-2017..

ruction, & Assessment, through Walden, University, and attended graduation in January 2015. In July 2015, I presented the results from my dissertation study at the American Association of Teachers of Spanish & Portuguese Conference in Denver, Colorado.
- Daughter Michele graduated in May 2008 from a Catholic high school. She graduated from Metropolitan State University of Denver in May 2012, with a B.A. in English (concentration in Writing) and a Linguistics Minor, attended the University of Denver Publishing Institute that summer. In 2013, she started working for Western Paper Distributors, then began working on her Master of Fine Arts in Writing through Vermont College of Fine Arts in July 2014. She earned her MFA in July 2016. She has a passion for writing and dance. She also taught dance and worked part time while an undergrad.
- I have cantored at church for 30+ years (lead singing at mass), in Colorado, about a year and a half in Kansas, and now, here in Edmore. I like Colorado, love the mountains, but missed Michigan's autumn. The "Changing of the Aspen" can not compare with the Fall colors in Michigan! In Kansas, I missed the Colorado mountains, but enjoyed the Fall colors and weather! Since I completed my Ph.D. studies, I have a little spare time to study our family genealogy and read for pleasure. Oh, I adopted a cat, Dixie, in December 2014. She was 11 at the time, and is white & black. She moved with me to Kansas the end of August (2015) and to Michigan with me in November (2017). Daughter Michele is still in Denver.... I thought eight hours from Cortez to Denver was a long drive. The drive was about 12 hours from Highland, Kansas to Denver. Now in Michigan, I've added yet another 14 hours to the trip by car! The trip is easier, and shorter, by train or plane.
