- While teaching, I was responsible for planning a two-week East Coast trip for my students and their family members. Once I retired, I carried that over into my personal life and planned a six-week trip to Europe with friends, which included a 16-day Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. I am active, attending daily classes, hiking, and community service.
