Well, I've landed in a permanent location! Now in Carson City Nevada, a view of the Sierra Nevadas from my window. We've had quite the winter! Went to Lake Tahoe where my son lives and he gave a tour of all the snow damage. Six feet deep on roofs, up to 14 foot deep where snow plows cut through. Good news is that ski season will last until July or longer!

Started writing fiction with Covid and now published. Available on Amazon.com. If you're out west, send a blog to my website. It's down now, but will be up soon! Happy 78th to all of us!

Fond memories of "Showcases" with the choir. Remember helping my mother, Lois Keefe-Science teacher at Woodward, with classroom grading and lab work at home.

During summer of 1962, I participated in the 50th anniversary of the Girl Scouts. Traveled to Vermont and performed on the stage with Maria Von Trapp ("Sound of Music") with several other troops.
