Born into a military family in 1959, Mary's nomadic adventures and approach to life can at times be extremely entertaining but sometimes bittersweet. With 10 siblings she understands much about people and how to co-exist peaceably or not. What to take seriously or not. Willing to marry for love and raise 3 children with unconditional love she knows that no one is owed a tomorrow, therefore she wastes no time and has no patience for those who do. Behind every door is another adventure she looks at the world with the eyes of a perpetual child, always asking, "why"? Living in Tucson, AZ she has finally come to an age when she wants to get out and see the world before she is too feeble to traverse or appreciate all its wonders.
