Introduction

Hi fellow classmates,

My name is Kristie.  A bit about myself; I love dogs and you can find me every Friday after work at ARF (Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation) in Walnut Creek where I've been an active volunteer for the past 6 years.  As a child my parents owned a petshop so I grew up with pets, specifically dogs and fish.  My current dogs Parsnip and Ginger were both adopted through ARF and are a great source of joy in my life.

Jeff (my husband) and I love to travel and if I had my way or should I say unlimited funds, I'd quit my job and travel the world.  Our most recent trip was an adventure vacation to the beautiful country of New Zealand.

Cheers to an interesting summer of History!

Kristie
