I was born in Terre Haute, Indiana. At age 41, I enrolled at Syracuse University and in 1973 received a dual degree in Education and in Family Studies. In 1981 I was awarded my Master's Degree in Family Studies from the same university. I live in Central New York and am never far from my computer. Always a lover of words, I enjoy writing to others interested in the Adirondacks, nature, and spirituality. I have been blogging since December 2005 at armourm.blogspot.com and am now in my eighties.
