After WWW I trekked down to A&M and graduated with a BS in Wildlife and Fisheries Science, Museum Science option, and an 'MRS' involving a naval officer-to-be and moved to Pensacola, FL. From there we moved to San Diego, CA; Virginia Beach, VA; Kingsville, TX; Corpus Christi, TX; and back to Arlington, TX. I worked in veterinary hospitals as receptionist and exam assistant/kennel help and as a lab tech in an agricultural entomology lab in Corpus during that 7.5-year stint.

So much for that college degree...but high on the satisfaction/fun meter, low on the pay meter. Well, that marriage didn't work out after all. I started court reporting school and, two and a half years later, met my current hubby of 10 years, Glenn, at the singles group in church. We are best friends and soul mates; and our current activities include swing dancing, technical rock climbing, kickboxing aerobics, hiking, camping, and whatever else we can find to do around our little ol' house!

Our only 'child' is a blue heeler named Tucker. In '93 I started my career as a freelance court reporter until eight years later, when I became an official reporter in a county court in Denton. Most of our trials are DWI cases, and I'm happy to report that I've not seen any known Wildcats in there.
