  • Raised in a Chicago suburb and went to New Trier.
  • B.A. in math from Pomona College.
  • Wanted to be a professional golfer. Playing 27 holes a day and going to tournaments, golf was hard work and not fun. 
  • Worked at Washington National Insurance Company in the actuarial department.  Used a calculator to figure cash value of insurance policies.  Took seven actuarial courses before realizing an actuary wasn’t for me, either.
  • At Quaker Oats I learned to program a Royal McBee computer to figure out the price of Full of Pep Feed for cattle. If not for Quaker, Howard and I would not have met.
  • After marriage and three children, I worked at Oak Terrace School as an aide. I saw the school didn’t have a computer, so, bought my Radio Shack Model III to school every day with programs for learning and fun. I created a computer lab; taught 400 children a week math and computers. 
  • Then, became manager of The Software Tree, a computer software and teaching store in Hubbard Woods. 
  • After that, treasurer and secretary of Howard Displays, Inc., Howard’s exhibit house.
  • Kids married and have four grandsons.
