After retiring, I took a part-time job teaching pre-schoolers how to use computers. One little boy had cancer and was very ill. One day his mother told me that the only reason he came to school was to take the computer class from Miss Conway. Although, I never had children of my own. I grew up in a large family and love children. I am known for my sense of humor and bottom line; I love teaching.
