Reason for living in Guatemala:
My husband’s work with United Brands, the Vegetable Oil Division, brought us to Guatemala from Costa Rica in 1975.
Time spent in Guatemala:
We have been here since 1975, except for three years in San Salvador when my husband was working there on an AID Contract.
Reason for choosing Colegio Maya:
We enrolled our children in Colegio Maya as it was the only school, during that time, with an English-speaking U.S. curriculum based on the U.S. calendar. I had always been involved in teaching and was anxious to become part of the school’s academic community.
Quality of Experience in Guatemala and Colegio Maya:
Colegio Maya has been a wonderful place in which to learn and grow and promote the feeling of being with family even while working and studying.
Interests:
I love to garden, cook, hike, read, explore Guatemalan cultures and go boating, swimming and fishing.
Family:
Our oldest son Willy, who graduated from Maya in 1986, lives in Iowa, is married to Sue, has two sons, and practices dentistry in a Latin community.
Our daughter, Wendy, who graduated from the Colegio Americano of El Salvador in 1989, lives in Austin, Texas and manages a newspaper, The Austin Daze.
Our son, Wes, who graduated from Colegio Maya in 1995, lives in Guatemala and works for the family business and coffee farm.
Future plans:
Continue to enjoy the journey of life!
