Once our children were in school, I was able to more actively pursue a college degree. I attended Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston and finished my bachelor's degree in Education at Portland State University. I earned my master's degree in teaching at Lewis and Clark College in Portland. Almost all of my 25 years of teaching experience has been as an elementary 3rd/4th grade teacher in the Lake Oswego School District in the Portland, OR metro area.
In fact, my whole family is involved in education: Myron left public accounting to focus his career on financial management in higher education; Jeannie teaches high school English, journalism and math; and Ken teaches music to all grade levels K - 12.
Music has always been an important part of my life and for the past 15 years I have been able to sing with a Vancouver, WA chorus/chapter of Sweet Adelines. For the last 10 years I have also sung with a Sweet Adelines barbershop quartet.
The pictures I have attached were taken this year and cover my two principal activities. The first is cropped from a photo of me with my quartet in performance costume and make-up. The second picture is this year's dreaded "school photo."
