I like music, art, history, traveling and to have fun. I admire people whom are well rounded with a sense of humor, kind to others, likes children, animals and plants. I grew up in the Midwest and became disenchanted with cold winters, sleet and snow. There were tradeoffs when I moved here from a sophisticated city, but I have never looked back. But then life is a compromise. I love to smile and laugh.
I would like to make a request of everyone involving our veterans. It is a worthwhile project to help our veterans who have put themselves in Harm's Way to keep us all safe. Since this web site refuses to allow a link to help soldiers on active duty, if anyone knows of a man or woman who is serving that wants a pen pal, please contact me; I will arrange it.
Since many gentlemen have inquired as to what my profession was, I will tell you. I was in the medical field all my adult life and took care of our veterans in two VA hospitals. That wonderful experience has taught me extreme compassion, empathy and that it is OK to mourn those who have died. I feel very strongly about our veterans getting the best care we can give them-Congress, are you listening?
