Greetings! I have worked extensively on my family tree via Ancestry.com (don't hit me! ;-) It occurred to me that a separate source, such as Wikitree would help verify or correct entries I have made.
I live in Cookeville Tennessee and am a retired university professor from Middle Tennessee State Universisty (MTSU) where I taught undergraduates in a pre-professional program for audiology and speech-language pathology. I am a licensed speech-language pathologist and work part-time from home for a private practice based in Smyrna Tennessee.
Prior to that, I have two degrees in music; a BSEd in Music from Tennessee Technological University (TTU) and MMus in percussion performance/orchestral conducting from the Universit of Tennessee, Knoxville. I conducted USAF Bands from 1980-1984, and finished my military career in 2012 in the Tennessee Air National Guard band where I was Principal Timpanist and Associate Conductor.
I am meow-mom to a black wunderkind named Peregrin Took (AKA Pippin).
