I am in my 4th term as Waukesha County Supervisor.  I have served the past 5 years as a member of the nine member Board of Trustees of Waukesha County Technical College.  Bud and I have a 46 foot motor yacht as our retirement home.  For the past two winters we have taken it across Lake Michigan to the Cal Sag waterway at Hammond, IN to the Illinois River, to the Mississippi, to the Ohio River, to the Tennessee River, to the Tombigbee River, to the Black Warrior River which ends in Mobile Bay, AL then the inter-coastal Waterway to Apalachicola, FL, where we cross the Gulf of Mexico finally ending up in Bradenton, FL.

In May, we reverse the trip ending up in Milwaukee’s McKinley Marina. We drive or fly back and forth from Florida to meet our business and other Wisconsin commitments resulting in less than half of winter’s days in sunny Florida.  My only connection to my nursing career is my nurse friends and my efforts as WCTC board member to expand that program.
