Gwenda (Copeland) Olsen, MPPA 1997

Here is a message from Gwenda:
Hi all!
I've virtually lost contact with you all when I gave up my career
(and a pending analyst promotion) to pursue my heart. My (now) husband
had a required change of station as a military officer, and I followed.
The frequent change of stations for military personnel has truly put
my career at a stand still. On the east coast, we weren't centrally
located enough to continue my career goals, but this provided me with
lots of time to tour the country and Europe (military style). My life
is even more full of travel now that my husband left the military.
We've settled in Oregon, and he now works for the airlines. He's based
out of the Bay Area, so we are often found cruising the San Francisco
Bay on days off or when he's "on-call". This helps get over the dreary
winters here. Now, I am excited about and hoping to become one of
Oregon State's newest board members on a state commission. In the
mean time, I'm a special education substitute teacher. We will see
where my career is in a couple of more years. We're looking forward
to starting a family this year, and I was pleasantly surprised with
regular emails last year from Tatiana (Kaluga Region, Russia). It
was such a pleasure to communicate with her, but now her email is
gone.
Take care all.
Gwen
