I am a retired librarian with more than 35 years experience. Most recently, I worked for a nonprofit agency that provided consulting, continuing education, and group purchasing. Besides travel, I enjoy yoga, meditation, working in the yard, learning Dutch, genealogy, and good books. I live with my partner Shannon in Lansing, Michigan. We have two cats and own a lovely 1911 home that needs constant attention. I have one daughter who lives in Richmond, Virginia.
