After 35 years as a courtroom clerk for Pima County (Arizona) Superior Court in Tucson, retirement the last two years has been wonderfully shared with my four indoor cats and plus or minus ten ferals. For two years I assisted Pima County Animal Control and Best Friends Animal Society with their community cat project doing trap, neuter and return of area feral cats. What a blessing that was.

I was married 35 years to the late William (Bill) Brown formerly of Augusta, Ohio and have three wonderful children (Susanne, Bill, and Charliene) and eleven grandchildren. Tucson is my home and it has my heart.
