I retired from the Groundwater Foundation in December of 2007 because I really missed direct contact with youth. The growth of the Groundwater Foundation had made it necessary for me to do so much fund-raising and budget work that I missed what was most important--educating people about the importance of our precious groundwater.

As a result, I decided to return to my roots and re-new my teaching certificate so I could be a Guidance Counselor again at North Star High School in 2008. (I used to be a Counselor at Pound many years ago!) I also taught English at Utica Centennial High School after graduating from St. Olaf College in 1975.

I am now mostly retired but am on the Board of Directors of the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District here in Lincoln.

Am currently serving as an elected Director on the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District Board and am chair of its Water Resources Subcommittee.

The best LSE story I have is when some of my friends and I decided to paint the old Antelope Park Bridge. However, we didn't plan very well and the paint we thought was gold and black was actually lavender and silver. So--the bridge had a very unique paint job but the message was the same as usual--Go Knights!
