This site is dedicated to the women who have influenced my life:
Mary Ridenour, who passed away at age 97.
(Her greatest sorrow was losing her eyesight so she could no longer read or enjoy her flowers.)
Rebecca Shaver, my daughter, who I am very proud of.
Kathy Williams, who has helped me through some hard times.
Lois Nail Wattyne, whose influence made me the person I am.
Pat de Jong, whose laughter has brightened a lot of my days, and made me spill (spit?) a lot of coffee.
