I am a native Californian, one of three children, having 2 brothers. I grew up in a loving home with lots of extended family nearby. I went to college at BYU for 2 years and then toWoodbury college in L A where I studied interior design. I married in 1969 and the following year had twins Felipe and Elena. I was divorced in 1975 and then remarried 2 years later to Mel Dresp, Who has a son and daughter, Steve and Sandi. Our blended family has given us 8 wonderful grandchildren. I worked most of my adult life, 12 years as an interior designer and then for almost 20 as an elementary school teacher. Today my husband and I enjoy a close relationship with all our children and especially our grandkids. We live in our home of 42 years in Rancho Cucamonga where we are active in our church and with friends and family. my hobbies include genealogy and gardening.
