Sue

I'm a retired forensic psychologist. You've seen some of my former patients on TV crime shows & in books. I love the mountains & the beach. I spent lots of time bodysurfing along the Gulf Coast of n. FL during the 10 years I lived there. As a lawyer, I also worked with political prisoners and Puerto Rican prisoners of war; many received clemency from Bill Clinton.

I play a mean keyboard! I love music--listening, singing, playing, composing! I did some audio engineering in the late 80s/early 90s & was going to be an official audio engineer until I discovered a minor hearing loss; it doesn't keep me from enjoying music, though! I have a home recording studio.

Over the years I have played many musical instruments, including violin, piano, organ, oboe, guitar, banjo, mandolin, & harmonica.

I love the outdoors, being with wildlife, and meditating. I'm part Lakota. I get along with many different kinds of people, celebrate diversity, & work for peace.

In the mid 80s I owned Antigone Books, the women's bookstore in Tucson. My successors have done a wonderful job of keeping the store active and thriving.

Summer 2008, I was able to go on a music cruise to the Caribbean with Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, & Melinda Doolittle. It was wonderful!

Accolades to the U of Arizona women's and men's swim teams for winning the 2008 NCAA swimming championships! Well done, tremendous teamwork!

Congrats to the U of Arizona women's softball team for winning the 2007 NCAA title, to Taryne Mowatt for ESPY female athlete of the year and female college athlete of the year, and to Caitlin Lowe, a NFCA Golden Shoe Award winner! Kudos to the U.S. softball team, winning the 2007 World Cup.

I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hypermobility Type, a rare genetic disease. Some of my MySpace friends have it too. Video by Elfins.
