After graduation I received a BS in Chemistry at SD School of Mines. Met my husband Jim at the Coal Gasification Plant in Rapid City. Our children, Katie and Matt were born in Rapid City. After 6 years in Pennsylvania, I went to Dental School at West Virginia University. We moved to Florida and have lived in Crystal River for 36 years. We adopted another daughter, Becky, after moving to FL. I retired 6 years ago after 28 years in private practice. We continue to be very active in our church. I volunteer once a week at a local free dental clinic. We also keep very busy with our 8 grandchildren.
