B.A Stanford University 1969

Ph.D. UC Berkeley 1981

After getting my B.A. I worked for two years in the social welfare system in Santa Barbara, took a year off, then worked for three years in the business office of a school district in the Bay Area. Spent six years in grad school at Berkeley, married Jeffrey Koon, and came to St. Paul, Minnesota (yes, it's cold here) to teach philosophy at Hamline University. Jeff works as an educational consultant, but is beginning to contemplate retirement. He and I have two children, Wendy, 21, who lives and works across the river in Minneapolis, and Justis, 17, who is busy applying to colleges. I've been chair of the philosophy department at Hamline for ten years, and spend what free time I have trying to stay in shape and writing novels (none published--yet).
