 I sure do. Here are a few tidbits of information… My husband Alan and I have been married for 29 years. Here he is with my niece Stella and my nephew Max. Alan is the love of my life. He works with telephones and owns his own business.

I am 50 years old…at least 20 years older than any other teacher on the team, and really old enough to be Mr. Croyle’s or Mrs. Mansell’s mom. I have one daughter, Tracey, who is nearly 20.

My mother-in-law lives with my husband and me. She talks a lot and she is a little eccentric. I will probably tell you quite a few stories about her because she is an interesting character.

I have three brothers and two sisters. My mother passed away in 1985, and my dad lives in San Diego, CA. I have 10 nephews and 7 nieces.

My dog is a jack russell / cocker spaniel mix. Her name is Zoe.
