Short Bio

I was diagnosed last September at age 72 with a mild case of IPF. I have a local pulmonologist (who I love) and I’m also going to the Chest Clinic at Stanford for diagnosis and perhaps a clinical trial once the virus allows it.

I have been a teacher with adult education for many years woking with homeless individuals and people just released from jail. CurrentlyI have been teaching English As A Second Language.
