Born and raised in Cedar Rapids, IA, I've been doing genealogical research for over 20 years. A former college composition instructor in the Denver metro area--I retired in 2009. Writing and research are important parts of my life. Married for 54 years--mother of two children. The oldest, Brian Scott Beall, passed away from cancer in 2016. Our daughter is married with three children of her own. This picture was taken in 1969 when my son was a year old (Brian Scott). My father, Gordon Loren Inman, sits beside me.
