Born in Massachusettes under the name Jeanne Pauline Dextraze, moved to San Diego, CA at 8 years of age. At 12, moved to Willimantic, CT. Married and raised 2 children. My Corporate Education & Training Consulting position with General Dynamics Corporation led to my eventual return to San Diego, CA where I was employed by Space Systems. Due to the later sale of my division to Lockheed Martin, I relocated to Littleton, CO and eventually transfered to Santa Clara, CA. I am now a retired grandmother of 6, who enjoys writing, music, ocean kayaking, swimming and travelling the world.
Memories are beginning to cloud, as the years go by - so I will make new ones every day!
Although my spirit wishes to jump hurdles, swim the English Channel and travel the world; my body disagrees, as the years go by - so I will learn to enjoy new activities and give my body the respect it deserves.

The news; it came as such a shock.
Innocent child, will he live on?
We stare as the seconds tick away on the clock,
and we pray for the demon to be gone.

Human nature is a funny thing... selfish, at times.
Some, willing to take as much, as another is willing to give.
Fighting the urge to take, will allow your relationship to live!

I watch my closest friends find love
as I sit on my perch watching from above
and I wonder... is there someone for ME?
