Family:   Married to Mark Waterson for 18 years.  
What's New With Me?  

After living in Hawaii for 18 years, we moved to Australia in late 2005. On Maui, I worked as a historian and historic preservation consultant, specializing in Hawaiian history and architecture. I also taught history at Maui Community College.

I am currently earning a Ph.D. in History in the Research School of Pacific & Asian Studies at the Australian National University. My husband, Mark Waterson, is a detector engineer at the Australian National University Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics.

June 2012 Update

I'm now living in Perth, Western Australia, which is about as far as you can be from any place and still be on the planet. But, maybe it's more like being on the moon—it's that remote. If I keep moving West, I'll eventually make it back to Illinois...then back to Hawaii.

I finished my doctorate in history at the Australian National University last year and am now writing a book on the history of Hawaii's scenic roads and tourism. My favorite activity is riding my Honda CBR 600. My big adventure last year was a solo trip from Canberra to the New South Wales outback towns of Broken Hill and Silverton, with a stopover in a little-bitty place called Pooncarie. I travel when I can. I'm still married.
