- Ossining-Croton-On-Hudson, NY
She moved to Ossining from Maryland many years ago and is still amazed at the system of government in New York. After 20 years she moved up the river to Croton-on-Hudson (a community she covered for The Journal News back in the day), then in 2014 she moved to Carmel, and now she lives in Mahopac.
She skewed Brown University's four-year completion stats by taking a semester off to find herself.
She and husband Jim have two children, both products of the Ossining public schools. The elder graduated from SUNY Stony Brook; the younger from the University of Toronto.
She spends her spare time studying theology, which amuses her family and friends. She sings in the Hudson Chorale.
