- Bio
- Born and raised in Virginia. BA in Romance Languages from the University of Virginia 1976 and MA in Spanish from Universidad de Salamanca in 1978. Taught school in the States and for my sins, I married a British civil servant, no less. After more than twenty years of living in the UK and speaking Spanish, French and Italian for lazy Brits who can't, I'm hoping to go home for good later this year. Hey, I live in Kent, where two other Virginia girls, Pocahontas and Nancy Astor, are buried. I don't intend on being the third. Besides, I'm a left-wing Obama supporter. I beling in the Socialist Democratic Atheist Republic of the United States of America.
