I live in Fairview, TN, which is just south of Nashville with my husband Frank of 49 years. I have 4 grown children and 6 grandchildren. My career has been in healthcare, primarily in Nursing Administration and teaching. I continue to do part time consulting work and teach adjunct in an on line nursing masters program . I love gardening, reading and tolerate run/walking half marathons. I have completed a half or full marathon race in all 50 states. I am now into backpacking and hiking. My favorite hiking trips have been in the Alps.
