After the heat (and joy) of Bangkok days (and four years in India prior to that), I spent my college years in beautiful, chilly Vermont. Went right to graduate school for my MEd., married and moved to the CA Bay Area. Fell into a wonderful profession as a vision therapist, working with adults and children battling learning related vision problems. Eventually started my own diagnostic and therapy practice and stayed in the field for 20 years. Divorced in 1976. Married Dennis in 1992; started a photography and graphic arts business in 1993 which continues in Eugene, Oregon, Northwest of Normal. We moved into our house on Happy Lane in July, 2001. After 35 years in the hectic Bay Area, this is total heaven.
