After nearly 31 years with General Electric Co. in various finance, sales, customer service, and distribution positions and picking up an MBA, joined IKON Office Solutions as a VP Finance and Administration and retired from IKON during 2001 leading the company’s Logistic organization. After 11 corporate moves between GE and IKON, moved from Philadelphia to Carlsbad, California five years ago.
Like most grandparents, we enjoy spending time with our grandchildren and they are now of the age where they can fly to the San Diego area without their parents which increases our one-on-one time together. We also enjoy traveling and try to include an international volunteer trip each year. Southern California is a great area to enjoy outdoor activities and, when in town, we take advantage of jogging/walking on the beach, tai chi classes and some volunteer activities including “bending nails” one day a week on Habitat for Humanity projects and working on City of Carlsbad hiking trails. Additionally, I try to get in a round of golf and some tennis during the week.

Spouse: LarryChildren: 2 Daughters Activities/Hobbies: Volunteering, church choir, skiing, reading After Wa-Hi I attended NNC, receiving my B.A. in History with minor in English; I got my “fifth year” from U of W; and years later I received my M.Ed. from SPU. I began teaching in a new junior high in Edmonds, WA and was able to travel extensively in Europe during one summer break. After seven years in Edmonds, we (now married) moved to Chicago where my husband got his MBA from the U of Chicago. I had a wonderful and unique experience of teaching in a Hebrew Day School near the U of C.
Our first daughter was born while we were in Chicago. We then moved to Beverly Hills and three years later our second daughter was born. After four plus years in sunny California we came back to the Puget Sound region.
We have been in our present home near Lake Washington for 32+ years where we enjoy the beauty of the mountains, Lake Washington, Seattle and the surrounding cities.
My activities in the Bellevue area include civic/community events, Girl Scout leadership, and a broad range of service in my church, especially teaching and singing in the choir. I was grateful to be home while our girls were growing up, but then returned to teaching and shared my love of skiing by starting ski programs at three private schools. I left teaching in ’97, but after four years of relaxing I returned to work, this time at my church. After six years I “retired” again.
I love the Puget Sound area, but get back “home” to Walla Walla one/two times a year to visit family. I especially miss the Bee Hive, Gardners, the Book Nook, and the many specialty stores, but it’s great to see the new businesses and residential areas.
