We lived in four different Delaware County towns as we grew up and raised our family.  After job opportunities took us away, we returned in retirement to enjoy life as country folks and grandparents.  I strive to use the skills, knowledge and understandings developed over a 40 year career in education to contribute through work on a variety of  boards and initiatives for the benifit of the amazing communities that raised me and my children. It will take a total team effort to assure that Delaware County responds to and can thrive in this rapidly changing world. Formal affiliations include the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Council of Delaware County, The Catskill Watershed Discovery Center, Town and County Planning Boards, and The Olympic Regional Development Authority Board. I also contribute wherever possible to the Central Catskills and Delaware County Chambers of Commerce.
