Meet Travelers, Rita and Sherrill #2


Je m'appelle Rita.  I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky.  I studied at Indiana U. and U of IL. I became a Home Economics teacher majoring in housing. I taught sewing in Wash., D.C. and then moved to Michigan where we raised 2 daughters, now aged 38 and 40 who have blessed me with 3 grandsons.  I then retrained as a legal assistant and worked for a large law firm for 10 years before returning to teaching where I found my calling as a cooking teacher.  I've traveled to France 5 times and to other countries in Europe. I am currently a widow, retired for 2 years and quite in the mood for travel and adventure.


Bonjour, mes amies.  Je m'appelle Sherrill W.  I am originally from Texas and recently retired from Dykema Gossett, where I was a partner practicing corporate tax litigation.  I studied French for 5 years at university (too many years ago to mention) and this is my third trip to France, the last being 20 years ago. I am especially interested in European history. I have two grown children, Lynn and Donald, and am hoping for grandchildren someday.  My passions are reading and horseback riding.  I am looking forward to sharing this trip with my many new friends and my long-time friends, Rita and Linda.
