Ed. in Art. I wanted tobecome a Commercial Artist, which is now a Graphic Artist, and design my own line of Greeting Cards orperhaps work for Hallmark Cards.While at Lincoln, I met a music major and the rest is history. Later, down the line, his goalschanged, too. I became an Army wife and we raised three Army brats. We had various duty stations, butGermany was the best by far. I got to travel to Paris! We were there when the Wall came down. We wereall part of history.I taught English I and Art I for 21 years before retirement. Inspiration for art, music, and writingalso come from various sources, too. The inspiration for this book came from a picture of my threeyoungest grandchildren. So I put my greeting cards on hold because I said, "I've got to do something withthis picture!" And I did.
