A Few Things I Love . . . I love being a lifelong Alabamian! My husband and I moved to Florence in 1982, expecting to be here a couple of years. We've called Florence home ever since! Being able to rear our sons here was truly a blessing to our family. I love the joy of learning ... in both formal and informal settings! I have education degrees from Auburn University, the University of North Alabama, and the University of Alabama. I've loved reading all of my life--especially biographies and historical fiction. I love learning something while enjoying a good story! And I'm thrilled to learn interesting facts and stories from people who have that rich education that comes from a life well lived!
