Kathleen Noble
Today I am a retired science teacher (high school and junior high), proud liberal and newlywed living in Phoenix, Arizona. For the first 63 years of my life, I lived in Washington State, mostly near Seattle. I taught as a Catholic nun for 16 years, then left because I wanted a family. Married for 26 years, divorced, and now remarried happily and unexpectedly to a wonderful man whom I initially met on a vacation flight to Phoenix! We are currently looking for a warm place near the ocean where we can live and entertain our grown children and grandchildren!
