Well, lets see…After Lindenwood College and The University of Missouri/Columbia. I moved to Kansas City(1980) and worked as a speech pathologist, met my ‘starter husband’ moved to Charlottesville, VA (1982). From there I lived in Brooklyn, New York (1985-89) where I started working with profoundly deaf kids, and gave birth to Michael Cooper; moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, (1990) and finally to St. Louis, Missouri (1991) where Kate Cooper was born and we have lived for (UGH!) 18 years! It seems I’ve become a Missourian. Six years ago, I married Rennie Behrend, also a teacher and artist. We built a house, and proceeded with the business of life, gardening, raising cats, dogs and my children.
