: About Me

I live in Apache Junction, Arizona, in the shadow of the Superstition Mountains and the newly discovered Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. I am a history buff. I studied Court Reporting at Gateway Community College in Phoenix, Arizona.
I had hoped to do closed captioning for television and may still pursue it. I have passed National exams, 200 w.p.m. tests with 98% accuracy. I like digging for gold and I'm in the right area for that. They took out $3,000,000 at the Goldfield Mine before an underground flood buried it. The Goldfield Ghost Town now shows the old diggings. I have 4-sons and 14 grandchildren. My husband is an owner operator of a Kenworth semi-truck.
