Yes! Attending Reunion
Comments:

I taught math in middle, high and community college. Even taught in Oregon's Men State Prison. What an experience! I completed a PHD in Mathematics Education and was hired at OSU mostly because of the word 'computer' in my dissertation. I have been a professor at OSU since 1980 where my specialty was integrating technology in teaching mathematics and science. I have been preparing math and science teachers to use technologies in teaching those subjects.

I retired in 2003, and have failed retirement. Now I have time for the research I didn't have time to do. My research is centered around the knowledge teachers need for teaching with technology. This research has taken me to lots of international places and I have had a wonderful time seeing the world with my husband while i interact with lot of wonderful people all over the world. In fact this is why I can't come to the reunion. We will be in Prague. I am also teaching online in a Master's program and actively publishing.

HOWEVER, my most favorite time now is spending 8 weeks in Mexico with my husband. What a wonderful time of life!
School Story:

Enjoy the reunion. So sorry I couldn't be there.

Hey Margie! Well now we are in the 80s and you are pushing forward to lead the way to 81! Sure hope you are doing good. Are you still driving cars?! Wish I could see you sometime but know you are further south than I can get to! Here's a picture taken yesterday after returning from a conference where surprisingly I received two awards for the paper I presented. I had decided it would be my last presentation- had no idea I was going to get these awards. My best to youth this birthday, Maggie (Margaret)
