About Me


Edith Cook Though I now live in Wyoming, I make frequent return trips to California with visits to travel club members along the way. At home I play classical guitar, enjoy gardening and cooking, and participate in group yoga. Getting together with family and friends is high on my agenda.

Such gatherings help me cope with the losses in my life, which have been severe. Next year I hope to visit family in Germany.
