Much to our surprise, Virginia Roberts and I discovered that we knew each other for several years in the 80's, then hadn't seen each other until we met for this interview.
Quakers do attract like-minded others'.
Virginia was born in Chicago and lived in many different areas around Chicago until she was 21 and married to a professor who taught in several locations in this country and Canada. After they divorced, she returned to Fort Collins, CO to get her masters degree. The only job she could find was at Cottey College in Nevada, MO where she taught, then decided teaching was not for her. At age 47 she moved here and experienced a mid-life change that was very positive for her. She had no idea what accounting or bookkeeping was, but that became her second career.
