1. When and why did you move to Hermiston?
I was born and raised here. I moved away to Alaska
for almost seven years, but returned. I’ve been so
very fortunate that’s the way things worked out.
2. What’s your favorite place to eat?
Any place that seems to be a local joint wherever I
am traveling.
3. What is your favorite activity in your
free time?
Read or spend time with family and friends just visiting.
4. What’s the last book you read?
Law of the Yukon: A History of the Mounted Police
in the Yukon by Helene Dobrowolsky
5. What app or website do you use most
often, other than Facebook?
I have my Twitter feed curated to news sources, mu-
seums, Library of Congress, and literature-based
sites, with the occasional cute zoo animal videos.
6. What surprises you about Hermiston?
Our growth. Although I miss many places, things,
and ways from years ago. There are bright spots
which have only come about due to our growth.
7. If you could travel anywhere, where
would you go?
All over the United Kingdom, and Nova Scotia, and
all the US National Parks.
8. Describe the funniest thing that’s ever
happened to you.
That’s a classified file of way too many examples
because some of them were indeed my fault.
9. Name one of your goals for the next 12 months.
To help complete writing state Library Standards with
folks at the Oregon Association of School Libraries.
10. What is your proudest accomplishment?
To know that my parents were pleased with my ef-
forts to make a difference, and to watch my child
strive toward her own goals.
