BORN: Louisville, KY. Long enough ago to have been a senior citizen now (2008) for 11 years. CHILDHOOD: Loved horses, horses, horses - and other animals, too. Hung out with other "tom-boy" type girls. Brought home snakes and snails, but no puppy dog tails. Once had an armadillo and a young possum. Raised rabbits. Rescued baby robins. TEENHOOD: Loved hiking, bicycle riding, going on field and camping trips with the local chapters of the National Audubon Society and the Kentucky Natural History Society. EDUCATION: B.S. in Biology, Univ of Cincinnati; attended Univ of Louisville; Ohio State; and Univ of Michigan's Biological Station. Have enough graduate credits for a PhD, but not in the right combinations to get one. Also, an Elementary Teaching Certificate from Trenton State, now called the College of New Jersey. OTHER TRAINING: Have studied under several spiritual and metaphysical teachers and practice certain types of meditation. Also studied toning (voice) and drumming with Don G. Campbell. JOB EXPERIENCE: Taught 4th and 6th grades, helped two school systems develop an Outdoor Education program; later owned a natural foods store. Now retired - whee! But still keeping a hand in the health, wellness and "youth-n-izing" areas.. TRAVELS: Have visited Egypt, Hawaii, China, Tibet, Bali, New Zealand, Australia and Peru. Emphasis each time was on learning about things metaphysical and indigenous spirituality. VOLUNTEER WORK: Used to mentor for Don Campbell's non-profit music institute in Boulder, CO. Also, used to help in community projects. Now much of my time is devoted to visiting a handicapped grandson, who no longer lives with us. Plus I help out various projects, but not on a regular basis. CURRENT INTERESTS: Cyberart, digital and film photography, gardening, traveling. FAMILY: Live with husband and our older son. Younger son, his wife and daughter live in TN. Older son's daughter is now in the Coast Guard, married and has a 3 and a half yr old son, which makes me a great grandma! Also 2 pet parrots. MSNTV: An original Classic, Jan, 1997. Learned HTML and created a couple of metaphysical websites. "Graduated" to a Plus, Sep, 1999. Experimented with audioscopes and gradtables. By the year 2000, I was hooked, addicted, whatever you want to call it. Learned even more by writing tutorials. Joined Tandem Tables Tooters (TT) in June, 2002. COMPUTERS: First one was an Apple Performa, which I gave away when I upgraded to an Apple iMac. I still have it as it has lots of text files in it, which I update from time to time. Next in 2004 came an Apple iBook laptop which stores lots of my older photos plus a music library which I play all the time. Finally, in 2007 I got an Apple MacBook Pro laptop. This is the one I use for more recent photos and for Photoshop's CS3 to help me "diddle" with them. ~ ~ TT Home Page ~ ~ Tone By Tone Dot Net ~ ~ Midi playing is "And the Angels Sing" sequenced by Roly Wright
