What have you been doing the past 45 years?

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in English, and from Villanova
University with a Masters in Library Science.  Had a lengthy career as a professional
law librarian, working first as the reference librarian at Villanova Law School.

I then moved to northern Virginia, taking a job in Washington, DC, with the United States
Senate Office of Legal Counsel.  Also worked for several large private law first in
Philadelphia and Washington, DC and served as an officer in professional law library associations.

Retired since 2001, I currently serve on the Board of the Osher Lifetime Learning Institute at
George Mason University.   Long an enthusiast of the arts, I am also a member of the
Board of Directors at the George Mason University Center for the Arts.

And of course, my husband and I love spending time with our 12 grandchildren.
