My career spanned 20 years, in three phases: teaching 8th grade English and social studies in Redmond, Oregon (1974-1976), working in a series of publishing, editing and marketing jobs at The University of Chicago and the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (1976-1983), and agency and corporate public relations in New York, Connecticut and Minneapolis (1984-1992;1996-1997). After we moved to Minneapolis in 1991 for Neal's job at Northwest Airlines and adopted our kids from Honduras a year later, I decided to stay home, returning for a year in 1996 to run the financial and professional services group of a Minneapolis agency. Neal eventually became CFO of Northwest, leaving at the completion of the merger with Delta in 2008. He is currently president of Laureate International Universities.
