     I live in Bellingham, Washington, and enjoy the temperate weather there.  I like the skiing in the area.  My intellectual side likes to delve in the Scandinavian languages, especially Norwegian.  Translation of the Norwegina written word seems to come fairly easily for me.  Two adorable cats live with me.  One, the Russian Blue, I call General Lee.  The white female cat is a Turkish Van and her name is Callie.

     I grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and graduated from South Dakota State in 1985.  My Masters are in Library Science from the University of California, Los Angeles and an in English from Western Washington University.

     I am a Christian, but I am not straight-laced like some Christians are against books.  Books, after all, open up new worlds in great expessions and bridge understandings between people around the world.
