Such a serious high school look! Who knew that my happiest days would begin at age 50? After graduation, I floundered around for two years studying (?) art at UNR. Left school to move to Arizona, married and traveled around with my Air Force husband. Finally finished a Bachelor’s degree in 1990 and worked in the news business for six years. Divorced and moved back to Arizona.

Fast forward: Dave and I have been together for almost 18 years. We love to travel, hike and explore. My artwork has turned to photography; I love taking photos of our adventures. We’re both wrapping up 25+ year careers with Southwest Airlines. When we’re not traveling, we split our time between the mountains and desert of Arizona. Life is Good! And yes, Mary Orphan (now Simmons) and I are still the best of friends!
