After graduating from Penn State in 1977, I spent 33 years as an educator (Special Education, Alternative Education, GED, Math). I worked the last 27 years of my education career with the Luzerne Intermediate Unit #18 in Kingston, Pa., retiring 2010. Since retiring, I enjoy learning Russian (traveled to Russia 2011), relearning to play accordion, walking on the Greater Hazleton Rails to Trails and being 2nd Vice-President/Safety Chair of the Crackerjacks Inc. Fireworks Club.
