Biographical Abstract:
I was born in a small town in Minnesota in 1954. In 1957 we moved to Long Beach, California, where our family lived until I was 10 years old. We then moved to Orange County where I finished my education, married, and am raising my own family.
My husband, Tony, and I have been married for 24 years. We have three children: Dan, 21 and a senior at Cal. State, Long Beach; Erick, 18, a June 1998 WHS graduate, now attending Goldenwest College; and Nick, 16 a junior at Westminster High School. From spring 1976 to the present my responsibilities were to my family and the raising of our children. During that time I was and still am involved in many volunteer activities.
