Upon finishing high school I attended the University of Montana where I graduated with a degree in English.   The following year I taught at Anaconda High School.

      In 1961 I married Gib Nichols and moved to Helena where we both worked for the state.   A couple of years later we moved to Wolf Point where we raised our family :   a daughter, Roaeanne and two sons, Shaun and Brendan.   They and their spouses have since delighted us with seven wonderful grandchilldren.

      Thirty years after moving to eastern Montana, Gib retired and we returned to Helena and in 1999 relocated to Vancouver, Washington.

      We've enjoyed some interesting and fun trips through the years and look forward to more.
