I’ve been happily married for 42 years, done some traveling, and love living in the country outside Wimberley. I retired in May 2014 from state service and enjoy teaching yoga and water aerobics at the Austin YMCA branch in Dripping Springs. I also work for the YMCA LiveStrong Program, assisting cancer survivors regain strength and flexibility. I teach chair yoga at the Wimberley and Dripping Springs libraries. I also teach gentle yoga at my church, St. Stephens Episcopal. As an actor with a lot more time now, I recently completed a role as Lady Catherine De Bourgh in Pride and Prejudice at The EmilyAnn Theater in Wimberley. I will be working on a radio Play, Ghost Stories of the Devil’s Backbone,in October at Wimberley Pioneer Town.

I was a total wallflower all through high school. You probably won't even remember me.

I also have fond memories of John McKnight doing an instructional speech in Speech (English?) class on how to roll a joint. Funny, the things you remember from high school.
