Writing
began after retiring from twenty years as a Safety Health Officer
with the U.S. Public Health Service, with duty stations with the FDA
and the Indian Health Service in Pembina, North Dakota, and
Toppenish, Washington. I have had poems published in Pasque Petals
and essays in anthologies, and my writings have been recognized in
literature contests at the South Dakota State Fair. Writing has been
therapeutic for me, helping me share and document my thoughts on life
and living.
