[2009] 40 years wow!
Here is a very brief synopsis: After Kent State I
taught marine science in Lewes, DE and Wallops Island,
Va, and finally ended up teaching science at the high
school at Gallaudet. I taught for 30 years, until last
June when I moved to a management position in the same
program, which is a whole new world but I like it just
fine. I'm
looking forward to reading other people's notes here!
My best
adventure was in the summer of 2012, when I joined a
family of four on a canoe trip down the Teslin and
Yukon rivers in the Yukon Territory. It was a
cool experience. We did 230 miles over 8 days,
from Johnson's Crossing to Little Salmon fishing
village (just up river from Carmacks). I met
these folks on the Internet and after having chatted
for around 5 years they invited me to join their
family outing. A fabulous trip. We drank
the water straight from the river and caught and ate
fresh grayling cooked over our campfire. We saw no
bears, unfortunately. |
My family (2007), where we live in Takoma Park, MD ... daughter Adair, son Austin, and my husband, Bill. Bill (Wm L. Brown) does freelance editorial illustration and is managing editor of the Takoma Voice online newspaper. |
One of my sports is rowing in an 8-person sweep on the Anacostia river. |
