I was born and raised in Hawaii. Attended and graduated Punahou High School on Oahu. Went to college, graduating from Oregon State University with a BS in Education. Now,I am retired, having taught elementary school for Portland Public Schools in Oregon.
I came to writing late in life, though several stories that I wrote have placed second and first in writing contests; one received honorable mention. Letters to the Editor have been published as well.
I enjoy gardening and painting.
My husband and I have driven across the US, visiting almost every state. We especially enjoyed touring Washington DC and Manhattan NY. Alaska proved a night and day experience, mostly day. Couldn't believe how bright it was at 2:30 am in the month of June or how tired were 'cause it seemed like only 5 or 6 pm.
Flying to Melbourne, Australia and seeing the sights was a delightful experience.
