Good thread!

    My past is pretty uncomplicated. Began college as an art major and
    soon switched to biology and education. I taught a year of jr. high
    science and a year of jr high art (at ISB in Bangkok). Became a
    mother and stayed home with the kids for about 5 years. Returned to
    the working world as a sanitarian, and remained in that job for about
    20 years. Took a job auditing food plants for a short time. Then
    hired on at the university to manage grant programs in environmental
    risk assessment and food safety. Currently, I coordinate an
    environmental leadership program and help with publications on
    private water and wastewater treatment. 

    The jewelry bug bit in high school and was reinforced in college
    with metals class. The best thing was the opportunity to learn from a
    studio jeweler for a few years. The last 20 plus years have been
    spent mostly learning on my own and experimenting with the wonderful
    things I read about on Orchid. 

    Orchid rocks in every way possible! Orchidians are thoughtful,
    sharing, intelligent people. Thanks to each and every one of you -
    and that includes the lurkers!! 

    Most of all, many thanks to Charles, Hanuman, and Ton, without whom
    this forum would not exist!!
