As a senior at UNH I did my senior project in American Architecture on the LOB building. Who knew I would be working there 4 decades later. I live in Nashua with my husband Bill Upham; my four children are grown. I am a psychotherapist and an art therapist. The Currier Museum of Art has started a program for art therapy for veterans and I am their art therapist.
