You can imagine their relief when she announced she was entering the convent, where she remained for twenty three years.Although architecture always held a fascination for Elaine, fate destined her for the educational field as teacher, principal, teacher trainer, counselor and janitor (when one could not be found). While she was a member of the Society of the Holy Child, a deep insight into the multifaceted condition of the human spirit was gained. For years she was a professional student and her transcript looks like a travel log. For several years she taught sailors and marines at Navy bases and counseled divorced individuals which gave her a first hand experience with the pain people cause one another.Her interests are many: reading, portrait painting, furniture building, designing, telling jokes and writing. Retirement affords her time to build stories, invent people and all sorts of situations in which they live.ver menos
