Short Bio

General Motors worker for several years. My favorite retirement job was climbing a 110 ft. Fire Tower everyday during fire season, at the age of 70.For the last 2 years I ‘ve felt I was on a pinwheel being diagnosed with  everything from a bad cough to a bad cold.                         Being recently diagnosed with IPF, I can’t climb 4 steps  without being out of air.

Just recently approved for OFEV.
