Like
a fine wine, the Pomona experience has aged well. Some years ago
I was inspired to re-evaluate my disdain for the 'college' and
began to realize those early days in academia had shaped me in
unexpected ways, mostly beneficial. This realization was prompted
in part by a career change into education seventeen years ago.
The broad knowledge base acquired at Pomona was a definite asset
in my new profession, which demands the art of a stage performer
and the analytical mind of a scientist.

Plans for the future…
With houses in Mexico and Whistler, BC, Canada I hope to spend
time in both places, skiing, playing tennis, hosting my granddaughters,
maintaining friendships, gardening, and growing spiritually. I
try to fit all of this in my present life; but know that the full
experiences will come after my youngest completes her undergraduate
work, and I no longer bear the escalating costs of a college education!
Conclusion…
I too have posted on my office wall the Pomona Gate Message, "
Those only are loyal to this college who in departing bear their
added riches in trust for mankind." I continue to judge my
actions in relation to that measure, and relative to that value
aspire to be a worthy Pomona Alum.
