I was born and raised in the Columbus, OH area. I worked, seasonally, as a Federal Tax Practitioner for 37 years. I raised 3 daughters and 3 step-daughters and THEN went back to school, graduating in 1990 from COTC/OSU, Newark Campus with double degrees in Business Management and Accounting with a 3.87 GPA (my second greatest life achievement, the first being that I SURVIVED the raising of my girls!!) and I retired from Federal Government service in Nov. 2001.

My favorite retirement activities are: Spending time with my children, grandchildren and great grandson. Working on my family genealogy on Ancestry.com. Local Historical Society research, cemetery searching and photo taking for Find A Grave member requests. And, last but certainly not least, playing BINGO and making new friends.
