Her Mother's 'Travel Bible' was the book, Europe on Five Dollars a Day.
Sondra Graduated High school, started college, was married to a Military Officer and had children at an early age.
Eight years after their marriage her husband was deployed to Turkey. There began the nightmare of his being taken hostage by the Turkish government and Sondra's determination to save his life.
After returning from her ordeal in Turkey, Sondra remained dedicated to helping the military family while serving as a local and International elected officer for both Officer and Enlisted organizations. As Vice President and Legislation Committee Chair for AFSA Auxiliary, she fought vigorously to protect the medical benefits for her fellow military families, winning the AFSA Presidential award.
After her children were grown, Sondra called upon her early experience-having grown up in a family run business-and her Degree in International marketing to develop a large International Customer Satisfaction analysis company.
Her love of nature, mountains, water and beautiful blue skies, drove her to relocate to Lake Tahoe. To this day, she is fervently proud to be part of the military family, "Proud to be an American!"view less
