My strong bond with the animal world began at an early age. My family raised a few litters of Airedale terriers and the movie Bambi made a lasting impression. My passion for animal welfare became meaningful after rescuing a starving cat from our neighbor's tree and reuniting it with its owners miles away when I was 15. (B&W newspaper photo)
That passion has been sustained for over 45 years thru active involvement as a volunteer with the ASPCA in NYC; President of the Windham County Humane Society in Vermont and a volunteer/ foster mom with the Seattle Animal Shelter in Washington.
