I am a retired Federal Government analyst.  I have had poetry, short stories and travel articles published on on-line and print media. Presently I live in Methuen, MA with my husband.  I have two daughters who live independent lives in New York City and London, UK.  When my daughters were growing up, I was public relations liaison to their school. I contributed to a column in the local newspaper and had school articles published in local newspapers including the Washington Post.
