I have been married to my wonderful husband since 1977 and we have two children and four grandchildren. Even though retirement is wonderful, I want to stay active and be involved in the community. I have the time, desire and energy to do just that! It is wonderful to be a part of the Oxford Chamber and to be the vice president of this dynamic board of directors.
