Your Swarthmore Story

My favorite professor was Dr. Krugovoy. He had our Russian class meet at his home near campus. We often had dinners together with his family and loved to hear stories from his past in Russia. I remember going home once to Delaware, which was a half hour away, so that my mother could cook a Russian dish for him when he asked if our class could have a Russian dinner together. He was my mentor and inspiration. After graduating from Swarthmore, my first job was teaching Russian and German with Mrs. Sohodski, my former Russian high school teacher.

Other Comments: What else should we know about you?

My husband Fred and I retired to our beach house in Ocean View, next to Bethany Beach. We love walking on the beach, fishing from our boat, and having visits from relatives and friends. Most of all, we love serving the Lord at Mariners Bethel U.M.C. in the prayer ministry and Rock of Ages ministry for the elderly in the community. Our church is planning to build the Hope Center soon as an outreach to serve all ages in Ocean View.
