At my age a few brief lines is hard to come by, but here goes.
Born in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, the 2nd of 5. katlaughing is my baby sister. Grew up in a family of musicians, folk and classical. I've been in the business of education since 1965 when I took my first teaching job in a small western Colorado town, Nucla. After there I came to Craig, CO in northwestern CO. with my 3 children,I left my husband there. My kids are grown and on their own now. At this time I have one wonderful grandson and another one on the way. At the end of the school year, 2004, I am retiring and moving to Fairbanks, AK area where my daughter lives with her husband and soon to be 2 boys. My oldest daughter, her husband and my son, the youngest, live in the San Diego area. I can hardly wait for this career change. There is no way that I can "retire" I can't afford to nor do I want to go crazy sitting around, that's not me. I'll be substituting and volunteering and I hope baby sitting. I seem to be a collector of instruments. I get crazy ideas and end up with something new to play with every so often. I'm not really good on any thing but the violin and I'm not sure I am any good on it any more. I love folk festival though don't usually participate in the playing, I just love to listen. I'm now single and movin' on. bet
