Backround

I was born in the borough of Queens, New York, of Polish and Russian parents who migrated to Crockett, California in June of '45, to live with relatives. The cultural diverse town of Crockett was my introduction to the English Language Learners (ELL), of Italian, Portuguese, and Hispanic cultures. Life was interesting and fun, for a child growing up in a town supported by the C & H Sugar Refinery which has a long history with developing the sugar industry in Hawaii. After graduating from John Swett High, I attended Parrie's Beauty College, in Vallejo, CA., and had a prosperous career in the field of cosmetology, that included 15 years in management; a valuable tool or future use.
