I retired in May, 2019 after having taught French for 20+ years at Clarion University of Pennsylvania. I am a bit of a dilettante creative writer, who is in quest of new intellectual or not-so-intellectual pursuits to occupy her ample free time. I am an avid reader, a huge fan of popular culture, and gourmet cook who lives in Hagerstown, MD. I am most proud of being Claire Donato's mother.
