The Title Of My BookI Did And You Can Too I Hope Will Encourage An Aging Female Population That Dreams Are There For The Making. My Career Began In My Early 40S And Now Into My Late 60 I Have Toured Throughout The United States And Canada As Well As Europe. North American Trips Were The Best But Riding In Europe Took On A Whole New Dimension Of What I Called Freedom. The Alps And Dolomites Gave Me A New Appreciation Of What I Searched For But With That Came An Appreciation Of What I Call Normal In My Life.
