A Trilogy, Rio Vista resident since 2002, Carol has lived in, boated on, and loved the Delta since 1985. She retired from a 28 year career at Apple, Inc. in 2014. Drawn to writing since she could form letters, Carol also finds special pleasure in live theater (viewing, acting, directing, dramaturgy), and discovering and sharing poetry by heart. She holds a B.S. degree in Psychology and Masters in Speech-Communication. Her life is enriched by her son and daughter-in-law who live in the Bay Area with her two young grandchildren, a girl and a boy. She is grateful to serve her community by creating the RioVision monthly article and weekly calendar, and by sharing the wisdom of poetry, lyrics, and other literature in her by-weekly column, ”Heart Beats”.
