Retirement from a long career in high school and college teaching, as well as administration, brought her to the mountains of Pennsylvania in 2005. Before long, she was involved with poetry groups in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, as well as her new home state.
Since her husband Phil's passing in 2011, she divides her time between a cabin in northwestern Connecticut and her home in Pennsylvania. Her son once commented, "You leave the woods to go to the woods. I don't get it."
And she wouldn't have it any other way. Unless, of course, it's to climb into her camper and hit the open road!
Her first book of poetry, "Like Smoke Rising, Like Wind," was published in 2011.view less
