My Story
I began as a substitute teacher (elementary) in California while Charlie was in Medical School at U.S.C., then switched to a retail job, completing the executive training program for a major department store chain. After 5 years, we moved back to Ohio so Charlie could complete his residency program in Ophthalmology at Ohio State University. I’ve dedicated my time since 1978 to community volunteer work and to our family of three children. I’ve spent the last 28 years as a board member at Ohio State University at Marion Ohio, a very rewarding experience. I’m also very active at our local Methodist Church, serving 12 years as chair of our church council. I was active in the very successful music departments of our local schools and State volunteer of the year in Ohio PTA.
