East Prussia, now Poland, is where I was born. In 1945 my family fled to the west of Germany. I went to school there and became a kindergarten teacher. In 1964 I immigrated to the United States, eventually becoming a Montessori teacher in Wisconsin, where I worked for many years
Reading to children, I learned, that one of their favorite subjects was animals.
