Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.

Kudos to both the Democratic Governor of Wisconsin who quickly called out the national guard to quell the violent protests in Kenosha over the police shooting of Jacob Blake; and the Mayor of Kenosha who said “There is a process to investigate the shooting. The destruction of our city does nothing to assist with the investigation.” And praise especially for Mr. Blake’s mother who said that the violence and destruction “doesn’t reflect my son or my family.”8/31/20
