December - Setting Sail in Less than 11 months
It is getting closer to holiday time. What do YOU want for Christmas? How about a ticket for a genealogy cruise? Registration is simple and a small deposit will hold that room for you and a guest (prices are double occupancy).
I am a native of Illinois and grew up in Wilmette, a northern suburb of Chicago. I have one sibling, an older brother.
After dropping out of college, I moved to California in 1973 with my first husband. I married my present husband, Butch, in 1977 and got 4 children in the deal. They have gone on to make me a grandmother 25 times over and a great-grandmother of 19.
Three years after I married Butch I returned to school. I got my bachelors and masters degrees in speech communication and was a professor in that field for 13 years. I retired in 2001 to return to school and get my doctorate in folklore. Now I meld my two interests - folklore and genealogy - and add my teaching background, resulting in my current profession: speaker/entertainer of genealogically-related topics. I play a number of folk instruments, but my preference is guitar, which I have been playing since 1963. I work in partnership with Gena Philibert-Ortega with Genealogy Journeys where we focus on educating folks about Social History. More about that can be found at http://genaandjean.blogspot.com and more about my own business projects is on my Circlemending website.

I am looking for further information on the cruise next November, which the flyer says I will find here, but I don't see it. Please tell me where to look.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
DeleteThe Flyer posted above has the information about the cruise and the contact information for the travel agent. If you click on the flyer it should enlarge so it's more easily read. We would also be happy to answer any questions for you. Thanks!
