Stanford Elementary School, Stanford University B.A. 1965
Stanford University M.A Asian History 1967

I taught history - Asian, American, and European at Concord Academy, GreenHills Academy, and Kent Denver School., where I chaired the History Department and took students on homestays in Japan. After my husband's death, I was the general partner of Pioneer Investment Co. and owned a half interest in 3 office buildings in the Denver area, and was the general partner of Shannon Management Co. which had working oil and natural gas interests. I travel to Asia 2-3 times a year to scuba dive and write curriculum units, and have become an underwater photographer.
I have added a new chapter to my life. In June, 2015 I moved from Denver to La Jolla, CA. I am so happy to finally be back in California where flowers bloom in January and the weather is beautiful, and am near my 3 children I am thoroughly enjoying all the outdoor activities and opportunities of San Diego.

Having to memorize the entire Chinese Revolution and realizing that there was a whole different side to history than the American version. My 9th grade history teacher's husband had died in China, and she told amazing stories. She sparked my interest in Asia, turned me into a historian, and I would love to let her know that.

getting back to Europe and reconnecting with old friends. Seeing Paris in the spring and meeting my son-in-law's grandmother in Monte Carlo. Writing a female version of the quintessential growing up in the 1950's novel.
