Spouse: Brian Swett
I drove to Alaska in 1973 and lived there until 2009 when we moved
to Pagosa Springs. In Alaska I lived in Juneau for two years, a Native
village for ten years, and Denali Park for 24 years. After we moved to
Pagosa Springs I have been returning to remote Alaskan villages
along the Yukon River in western Alaska. These villages are very
remote – no tourist would ever go out there. I bring a sleeping bag
and sleep on the floors of the schools. There is no lodging available
or restaurants. I go to the villages for 4-6 weeks usually 3-4 times a
year and provide professional development for teachers for K-12
teaching of literacy and I mentor/coach PreK teachers and help them
set up classrooms, pre and post-test students, provide parent
conferences, pre and post-test students, and lead monthly activities
for PreK children and their families. I love the remoteness of the
villages and the Native culture. Elders are respected for their
knowledge and wisdom which are passed from generation to
generation. Part of each day for me revolves around getting safe
drinking water. In some villages a gallon of water costs $8 while in
other villages a gallon of water costs $14. Travel from village to
village is by small plane as there are no roads. The schools send a
snow machine or an ATV to the airstrip to pick me up when I arrive or
depart at each village. There are no vehicles in most of these villages.
Travel is by snow machine or ATV. I walk everywhere that I want to
go.
Education: CSU, Bachelor of Science Speech and Hearing Science.
University of Northern Colorado: two Masters’ Degrees – Speech and
Hearing Science and Education Learning Disabilities. University of
Anchorage: Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and
Administration.
I taught in small K-12 schools in Alaska where you teach what you are
assigned from year to year. Part of the lure of K-12 schools is that
your teaching assignment constantly changes based on the needs of
the students. Over the years I taught: Speech and Language
Resource, Learning Disabilities Resource, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th grades,
middle school, high school, and eventually was one of the two district
administrators so my responsibilities were district curriculum,
professional development/in service for teachers, Federal Programs,
state and independent grants, and I taught college credit courses for
the staff. After retiring to Colorado, I have been returning to
extremely remote Alaskan villages as an education consultant.
Many opportunities to experience and live in wilderness settings
have been part of my life. Our sons were born in a Native village.
When Dylan was 6 months old I lived for three months in an old
trapper’s cabin on the Aguluwak River. With Dylan in a backpack, I
could run the river and navigate twenty miles down Lake Aleknagik to
get to where a vehicle was parked. My husband, Brian, is an
experienced wilderness adventurer so we have spent weeks ocean
kayaking in remote places, floating rivers in pack rafts, hiking,
backpacking, living in tents. It’s been a life with grand adventures
and at this stage of life – very special and wonderful memories.
Music and dancing are part of my retired life – country line dancing –
it’s not what you think! Country line dancing has evolved into quite
complicated dances with a younger generation of dancers catching
the fever! I have had great fun celebrating milestone birthdays – at
50 I went on a bike ride in Tasmania, at 60 I went on a bike ride in
New Zealand, and 70 is coming up way too soon! Contact me if you
are interested in planning an adventure for our 70th birthdays!
We have 3 children Dylan 41, Jesse 39, Brittany 29 and many other
kids lived with us during their high school years. One of those kids,
Greg, lived with us for two years and became part of our family.
The joy of retiring in Colorado has been to be part of the lives of our
grandchildren. We usually babysat the kids two days a week prior to
them starting kindergarten which has given us the opportunity to be
part of their lives. We have 3 grandchildren in Pagosa Springs:
BaiLee, Blake and Cooper and one grandchild in Fort Collins: Maddox
Bruin. When BaiLee was nine years old she flew by herself to Alaska
and we took her ocean kayaking and camping for ten days. She was
amazing even at nine years old! The next summer she flew to Alaska
and I took her on a small plane to a remote Dall sheep hunting camp
in the Wrangell Mountains where we rode horses every day to spike
hunting camps. BaiLee call me “Grandma Trouble” based on the
many adventures we have had together! She also says, “What
happens with Grandma, stays with Grandma!”
The grandchildren are athletes, excellent academic students, kind
and thoughtful human beings. They love outdoor activities and are
technology wizards! The grandchildren gave my husband a Play
Station 4 and the game Fortnight for his 71st birthday. Now – the
grandkids and Brian can play Fortnight on a team together no matter
where each of them happens to be. Do you know about Fortnight?
If you want to be a “cool” grandparent – you need to know how to
play Fortnight. It will surprise and delight your grandkids!
Life is good! We are thankful for good health and a family with
young parents who coach sports and are very involved in their
children’s lives. Our life revolves around the activities of the
grandkids!

and rewarding experiences that we will always cherish.

I came back home to Grand Junction in 1982. When I say, “back
home”, I literally mean back to the home my parents bought after I
graduated from high school. I went to CSU and lived in Ft. Collins
from 1970-1975. I then moved to Glenwood Springs until moving
back home in 1982. I attended Mesa College and CSU.
I did not serve in the military but I sure respect those who did
especially at the time we graduated!
I was the Executive Director of the Effective Parents Project Inc.,
which was a non-profit organization established to provide support,
resource information and educational opportunities
(seminars/conferences) to parents of the children with disabilities
and the professionals who served these children. I was led to this
career with the birth of my first daughter Angela who has multiple
severe challenges. I feel truly blessed by being her mother and for
guiding me to such a rewarding profession.
My hobbies include cooking, baking, knitting and needlework. I had
to give up golf after receiving a multitude of screws and rods in my
back.
We have 5 children. When we married, almost 28 years ago, he
brought 3 wonderful boys to our family: Chris was 19, David, 16 and
