I have been an active QOV member since 2004 as a longarm quilter and am active with my local guild, Northern New Mexico Quilt Guild, and a former past president. I retired from Los Alamos National Laboratory, and now enjoy the time I spend with friends, family and my quilt group.
Many in my family served in the military: my father served in the US Navy during WWII, my brother in the US Air Force during Vietnam; my nephew was Special Forces and my grandson served in the US Army as a Combat Medic. Being a volunteer with Quilts of Valor is a very small way that I can show my appreciation and thanks for those that have given their all for America.
