LIFE AND TIMES:

I was born and raised in New Britain, CT, a lovely place to grow up. Some of my favorite places were, and remain: the New Britain Public Library (of course) and Walnut Hill Park, designed by Frederick Olmsted. After high school and a year at UConn, I moved to Queens, NY. There, I earned my BS and MS in Computer Science and worked for Grumman Aerospace Corp. Such a delightful company to be a part of. (Bill Vojir - if you happen to read this, please contact me) I left Grumman to raise a family. I remained obsessed with them and stoking the hearth fires until the battle with inertia was won and I took a job as an aide in the local school library. Eureka! I was inspired. (Thank you, Pat) On to Library School at Long Island University, where I completed my MLS.
