Experience. This is my 40th year of teaching: all but 8 years (5 years in Okaloosa Co. and 3 in Marion Co.) have been in Orange County, FL.; at Winter Park Jr. High, Colonial H.S., Conway M.S., Boone H.S., and Olympia H.S.

Personal. I have a son and daughter, both married and 2 granddaughters.

Activities. Walked 60 miles in San Diego for Koman Breast Cancer Fund Raiser. Hiked 21 miles in the Chugach Mountains, AK., where my group was within 20 yards of a brown bear, and had a black bear on our campsite, eating out of our cooler. I have driven from Orlando to Anchorage, AK., enjoy a good game of tennis, and walk at least 5 miles, 5 times/week.

Hobbies. Sewing and crafts
