No longer married. Made the decision last year that I did not want to spend the next 32 years of my life like I had spent the last 32. Am now in the process of trying to figure out who I am at this stage of my life and what I want to do when I grow up. I came away from my marriage with two wonderful children - my son Patrick is 29 and my daughter Heather is 25. I have worked at Linfield College since 1989, the last 13 of which have been in the financial aid office. I coordinate the student loan program. The job is very fulfilling and I work with a great group of people. I was able to keep my house after the divorce, so continue to live in the country on a small acreage.
