Welcome

Welcome! You are the umteenth visitor since I installed the (now broken) counter (July, 1995). I am glad to be living today to see the rapid developments in technology. In college, I took every computer course available - both of them. At my first full time job, the site was still running a vacuum tube computer. Now I have on my in my purse a machine more powerful than the first mainframe systems that I worked on that filled rooms - and it makes use of color and graphics. If you don't like some aspect of working with computers, wait a few months - it will change.

About Me

I was raised in Pleasanton, California, USA. I attended Chico State College and Chabot Junior College, where I received an A.A. degree. I enlisted in the U.S. Army and served time in Augsburg, Germany and inside Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I earned my B.S. from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. Then I moved to Albuquerque, where I used the G.I. Bill to earn my M.A. from Webster University. I supported CA-IDMS (network database management system) and Oracle (relational database management system) at the University of New Mexico. I played with MS-Access, which I used to keep membership databases for non-profit organizations and registration information for national conventions, among other things. I belong to the New Mexico Computer Society, the Albuquerque Vegetarian and Vegan Meetup Group, and the Women's Army Corps Veteran's Association. I also like to travel - check out the list of countries I have visited. You can also see pictures of my cats.
