Greece 1967-68. Anti-war activities 68-71. Moved to Washington State in 1970. Junk jobs for a while. Then more interesting jobs including many years at the state humanities council. Then switched to computers. Greek and Latin are a great background for people who switch to computer programming. I ended up doing computer training for the rest of my working life, always for government agencies: mostly state government, but there was a 5 year stint at the US Senate in DC. Now doing volunteer work, mostly at libraries and in offices. Living in a retirement community (CCRC). Travel a lot--went back to Greece last year and all my modern Greek came back!!

Loved the Greek plays we did. I was interested to see Barbara Stubbs Cochran mention Samuel Hynes: I loved the English seminars, even though English was not my major. But really that was not a good decade and my memories of Swarthmore are not that happy. Things got a lot better when I got older.

I probably should have gone to Library school. I really enjoy working in libraries.
