She was born on January 1, 1930. She was raised by adoring parents as an only child in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her parents introduced her to the joy of traveling and always included her on their many auto trips around the United States. (Foreign travel was not advisable during the second World War).
Majoring in Art Education at the University of Minnesota stimulated her love of the arts and the beauty of nature. After marriage and the birth of two daughters, her husband’s business transfers opened new vistas for her family, from New York, to New England, to Texas.
A woman of many talents, she is an artist, writer, photographer, interior designer, seamstress, national master flower show judge, Ikebana student and teacher, gala decoration consultant, travel agent, tour designer and leader, as well as, pet lover, cookie baker, wife, mother and grandmother. Meeting new people, visiting new places, taking on the challenges of the open road and being always willing to take that “First Step” have enriched her life.
Come and explore the excitement of her travels in “Around the World in 80 Years”.
