I was born and raised in Kansas and graduated for Kansas State University. I feel a close link with my midwestern heritage. Early on, my parents taught me a deep abiding respect for history and the part it plays in the future. I firmly believe that if you don't know where you've been, you won't know where you're going. As a small child, I remember how life would stop and everyone would gather around small black and white TV sets to watch as America took it's first steps into space. In a period of ten years, we moved from those baby steps to the leap that landed a man on the moon. As I grew into adulthood I never forgot those images that were burned into my memories. I have 5 children of my own and taught for 20 years. I have always felt that learning should be an exciting adventure in to the world of the unknown. I look forward to passing on my enthusiasm as a NASA Solar System Ambassador.
