         All the following are in Port Orchard:

Instructional aide for a behaviorally disabled classroom

Interest besides computers?

Hobbies: Gardening, making stone and mortar bird houses also shell bird houses with drift wood perches and enjoy beach combing for the materials to make the bird houses with.  I like to sewing, love traveling and RV’ing and the great outdoors, I’m an avid walking, (since I had to give up running) and walk a mile and a half daily

Games: I don’t play games!

Sport: I used to teach archery to cub scouts and campfire girls, that’s as close to a sport as I do or did, but it is something I’m quite proud of as I would work with about 500 kids over the summer and no child left my range without learning to hit the target and using proper form

Sport: Not very sports minded, but do enjoy an occasional Mariners game

Places traveled or visited?

I’ve traveled in Europe and really enjoyed southern Spain; I loved Italy, with the Island of Capri being a favorite, and the ancient hill towns.

But I thoroughly enjoy “just Chilin’ out in Zihuatanejo, Mexico for a month during the winter. 

I prefer warm places and since I have daughters in San Diego and Honolulu I have plenty of opportunity to get away from the “drippy, dreariness”

Worst: There is no worst place, every place is interesting
