What’s been happening:

Following those years at Penn State I was married in Seattle, Wash, had 5 children, Valerie, Vicki, Lisa, John, and Bill. Our journey took us from Seattle to Buffalo, NY, Chicago, IL., Albany and Chatham, NY. While in upper state NY, I went to The College of St. Rose where I built on my interest in connecting Art to Psychology and Sociology, and received an MS in Education. The courses I took allowed me to meet people I never would have met otherwise. They were very interesting people with diverse and difficult backgrounds. One place I enjoyed was in a high security correctional facility in NYS. My last employment was as an Art Therapist in a Behavioral Hospital for adolescents. That was in Streamwood, IL. I retired from there 3 years ago and moved to Guthrie Center, IA. It's a very small town 50 miles west of DesMoines.
