I live with my husband Allan and our three boys in Täby, Sweden.

We live in a house and have several pets, especially our lovely dog, a Flat coated retriever called Guinness.

Due to my profession and my husbands background (scottish) we travel quite extensively.

We have been back to LA many times to visit and are looking forward to the next big Reunion:-).

My stay in South Pasadena High School was a very memorable year in my life which definately prepared me for greater deeds and gave me the courage to go ahead with my dreams.

I am forever grateful to all teachers and friends.

South Pasadena will always have a very warm place in my heart.
