Other

The last few years for us has involved a lot of moving around. Hopefully now we are settled in our current home. I've been teaching ESL for the past 16 years; first at BYU and then here in California at UCI. I took some time off when we lived in South Carolina for a few years and our son joined our family. My husband works in marketing, especially for "Urban Markets" here in a major company.

Recently I was able to help in the youth celebration before the dedication of our new Newport Beach temple by sewing some costumes. Otherwise, I'm rather out of practice when it comes to sewing. Although I do think of Maureen when I watch the "Incredibles!"

I congratulate all the rest of you who have kept up with your talents continue to touch the hearts of many through music, dance, and song.
