Have you traveled? where? why?:
Two LDS missions: Romania, Cameroon (Africa). Currently in Frankfurt, Germany on a Family History mission in Europe Area Office. We have also traveled to Great Britain on a Scouting trip (Back to Gillwell), to Mexico & Central America on a Book of Mormon Lands trip, to parts of Europe on a WW II trip, to Egypt and Israel, and to India. To say nothing of various and sundry spots in the USA.
Hobbies/Interests:
Avid reader, write poetry and am past pres of local poetry chapter of UtahState Poetry Society. I've enjoyed writing amateur choir compositions for LDS ward choir, and was choir director for 9 years. I went back to school in the "middle ages" and graduated from WSU at age 50, with a Bachelor of Integrated Studies (French, English, Music--like a triple minor). My French study came in handy in Cameroon which is French speaking. It also was good background for trying to learn Romanian. I'm currently trying to learn German while in Germany--I really enjoy languages--Jack of several, master of none. Family History has been a big hobby. Grandchildren--we now have 31 from eight children.
